Abstract

Ituri is a district of the Oriental Province, located in the north-east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). It is composed of the territories of Irumu, Djugu, Mahagi, Aru and Mambasa that are in turn subdivided into 45 collectivities and five cités.1 The population is diverse. The largest group is the Alur, representing around 27 per cent of the Ituri population and living predominantly in Mahagi. The second and third groups are the Lendu and Hema (24 per cent and 18 per cent respectively), who live in Irumu and Djugu. In the territory of Aru the Lugbara are the largest group. The territory of Mambasa is largely covered with forest. The main group are pygmies, surrounded by the Bila, Lese and others.
