	Kisangani - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kisangani, formerly Stanleyville, (population 500,000) is a city in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Central Africa.
		Kisangani is located where the Lualaba River becomes the Congo River north of the Boyoma Falls.
		Kisangani is known as "Kisangani Boyoma", and the demonym for Kisangani is Boyoman (or Boyomais in French).

	Special Issue:
		It recalls MONUC's mandate to extend its protection, in accordance with its resolution 1417 of 6 June 2002, to civilians under imminent threat of physical violence, in the areas of deployment of its armed units and as it deems it within its capabilities.
		RCD-Goma must also cooperate with MONUC and OHCHR in their investigations to identify all the victims and perpetrators in Kisangani so that the latter will be brought to justice, and also to ensure an end to all violations of human rights and to impunity in all areas under its control.
		Thus, the spontaneous turnout of around 4-5 thousand civilians on the call of the mutineers further supports the impression that the people of Kisangani are opposed to the presence of elements of the Rwandan Patriotic Army (RPA) and hold the authorities responsible for it.

	CURRENT RESEARCH ISSUES AND PROSPECTS FOR CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT
		Kisangani is the largest town in the Eastern province and is located at the north-east of the Congolese central basin (03_1'N; 25_11'E).
		The town is situated in the region of Congo-Guinean lowland forest typical of the majority of the country, although in the immediate vicinity of the town, much of this forest has been severely affected by increased urban expansion.
		In addition, continued comparison between household use of NWFPs and their formal trade will shed some light on the limited development of the NWFP sector in DRC and will perhaps provide insight into how the sector might be developed for a more meaningful contribution to both the rural and urban economies.
