Kasai-Occidental
Kasaï-Occidental (West Kasai in English) is one of the ten provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo. It borders the provinces of Bandundu to the west, Équateur to the north, Kasai-Oriental to the east, and Katanga to the southeast. To the south it borders the country of Angola. The provincial capital is Kananga.
Following the 2005 Constitution (effective 18 February 2006), Kasai-Occidental was to be divided into the two new provinces within 36 months (18 February 2009): Kasai and Lulua. As of September 2011, this had not taken place.[1]
