Evidence (2016-05-15): Acting Administrative Secretary wrote to the Governor of Northern Rhodesia. He informed the Governor that there were 4 enclaves that were under the Belgian administration, Mpweto- Lunchinda included. The residents were forced to carry Congolese identity cards and been fully subjected to Belgian rule. Chiefs who were living within the sphere of Belgian control provided tribal control. [...] Education Minister John Mwanakatwe and Alex Shapi visited Mweru constituency. They were held at gunpoint and manhandled by the Congolese (Katangese) gendarmes after crossing the Lunchinda River at Chipungu. Despite explaining who they were, they were accused of being in Congolese territory. It was not until the following day that a senior Congolese official who spoke Chibemba saved them and apologised for their mistreatment. They crossed the Lunchinda in the knowledge that they were still in Zambian territory, as the maps showed. At this time, there was no clinic at Chipungu, so many Zambians sought medical facilities from the Congolese hospital at Mpweto. Even the Belgium Congolese franc was accepted currency in Chipungu area itself, as it was in Pweto. The fact was, Mwanakatwe was legitimately visiting his constituency, as far as the Zambian map showed.

The Luvua River, a headstream of the Congo River, leaves the lake just west of the town of Pwetu to flow north its confluence with the Lualaba River opposite the town of Ankoro.[2] Other rivers flowing through the territory include the Lubule River, the Lumekele River and the Kilulishi River. The territory is subdivided into the following chiefdoms and sectors: Kiona-Nzini Chiefdom, Moero Sector, Mwenge Sector and Pweto Chiefdom[3] [...] Pweto Territory saw several combats during the Congo wars. With the cease fire, the front line between the RCD-Goma and the Forces Armées Congolaise cut off the north of Pweto from the south.[4] Although the civil war ended in 2003, the region has been severely damaged by the civil war and reconstruction has been slow. Most of the rural residents are returned refugees or internally displaced people from other regions. Basic government services are still not available, public infrastructure is in poor condition and the local economy is scarcely functional. Corruption and lack of confidence in stability are handicaps to investment.[5]

Evidence (2024-09-16): Bantu, Sudanic, and other migrants from West and Northeastern Africa arrived in the Congo River Basin between 2000 B.C. and A.D. 500. The territory that is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo is extremely diverse, with more than 200 ethnic groups that trace their histories to many communal organizations and kingdoms. The Kingdom of Kongo, for example, ruled the area around the mouth of the Congo River from the 14th to 19th centuries. Meanwhile, the Kingdoms of Luba and Lunda, located to the south and east, were also notable political groupings in the territory and ruled from the 16th and 17th centuries to the 19th century. European prospectors in the Congo Basin invaded and splintered these kingdoms in the late 1800’s, sponsored by King LEOPOLD II of Belgium, and the kingdoms were eventually forced to grant Leopold the rights to the Congo territory as his private property. During this period, known as the Congo Free State, the king's private colonial military forced the local population to produce rubber. From 1885 to 1908, millions of Congolese people died as a result of disease, inhumane treatment, and exploitation.

Apoyó activamente a UNITA durante la liberación de Angola y la guerra civil, a SWAPO durante su lucha por la independencia de Namibia de la Sudáfrica del apartheid, a Rodesia del Sur (ahora Zimbabue) y al Congreso Nacional Africano en su lucha contra el apartheid en Sudáfrica.[8] [...] En 1998, Zambia lideró los esfuerzos para establecer un alto el fuego en la República Democrática del Congo (RDC).

Evidence (2024-09-10): On the 13 September 2019, the Ministry of Health in Zambia was notified of a case of laboratory-confirmed vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2 (VDPV2) through the WHO Country Office. The reporting facility was Katabe Private Hospital in Pweto District of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The case was a male aged 2 years and 8 months from Kalima 2/Pilliashi villages in Chiengi District, Zambia. The notification triggered an immediate response by Zambia National Public Health Institute (ZNPHI). We describe the investigation of the case and public health responses that were undertaken following the notification. [...] Prior to the 2019 cVDPV outbreak, majority of the health facilities only conducted passive surveillance for polio. This involved the surveillance focal point persons reviewing the inpatient and outpatient department registers for cases of AFP and ensuring that they were followed up and investigated for Polio. The district had to maintain a non-Polio AFP rate of two cases per 100,000 populations. In light of the heightened risk due to the isolation of PV2, all silent Districts in the country were instructed to conduct surveillance of AFP cases in all IDSR high priority reporting sites, including all District, secondary, and tertiary hospitals. AFP surveillance of children under 15 years in Chiengi District was heightened with a target to maintain a non-Polio AFP rate of four cases per 100,000 populations. The herd immunity of the catchment populations of the two facilities (Chipungu RHC and Lunchinda RHC) assessment identified a gap in PV2 immunity in the area. An SIA was conducted in Luapula Province providing three rounds of monovalent polio vaccine for PV2 (mOPV2) to all children <5yrs.
