Maniema is one of 26 provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.^[1] Its capital is Kindu.

Toponymy

Henry Morton Stanley explored the area, calling it Manyema.^[2]^:Vol.Two,96

Maniema borders the provinces of Kasai-Oriental to the west, Orientale to the north, North Kivu and South Kivu to the east, and Katanga to the south.

Maniema consists of the city of Kindu and seven territories: Punia, Pangi, Lubutu, Kibombo, Kasongo, Kailo and Kabambare. The city of Kindu has the communes of Alungili, Kasuku and Mikelenge

Mining is the main industry in the province and diamonds, copper, gold and cobalt are mined outside of Kindu.^[3]
