Tshuapa is one of the 21 new provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo created in the 2015 repartitioning. Tshuapa, Équateur, Mongala, Nord-Ubangi, and Sud-Ubangi provinces are the result of the dismemberment of the former Équateur province.[2] Tshuapa was formed from the Tshuapa District whose town of Boende was elevated to capital city of the new province.[3]
