The Lunda speak a Bantu language and now live in S Congo (Kinshasa), E Angola, and N Zambia.
Lunda living near the upper Lulua and Kasai rivers assimilated political ideas from the Luba (especially regarding divine kingship and bureaucratic administration) and formed a kingdom ruled by the mwata yamvo, or king.
At the same time, dissident Lunda migrated eastward; some of them founded the kingdom of the Mwata Kazembe, centered near the Luapula River, which was a flourishing trading state in the period from the late 18th to the early 19th cent.

The Lunda alone were a congeries of peoples brought together in the far-flung Lunda Empire (seventeenth century to nineteenth century) under the hegemony of a people calling themselves Ruund, its capital in the eastern section of Zaire's Katanga Province (present-day Shaba Province).
Lunda is the form of the name used for the Ruund and for themselves by adjacent peoples to the south who came under Ruund domination.
In the 1980s, these rebels and perhaps still other refugees remained in Angola, many in Lunda Sul Province, although the Angolan government as part of its rapprochement with Zaire was encouraging them to return to their traditional homes.

 New Report Alleges Blood Still Stains Diamonds - UN Security Council - Global Policy Forum
Since the Angolan government launched its crackdown against diamond smugglers in the area known as the Lundas, there have been reports of unrest and violence at the hands of both the national police and diamond company security firms.
Local media had also reported cases of deaths and injuries in the Lundas, although concrete evidence was difficult to come by, given the remoteness and inaccessibility of the region.
In Cafunfo, also in Lunda Norte, 11 people are reported to have died and another 18 wounded as a result of police attempts to quell a riot, allegedly sparked when diamond company security guards attempted to remove generators supplying electricity to the town.

In particular, in the provinces of Bie, northern Huambo, Malange, eastern Kuanza Sul, north-eastern Moxico and northern Huila, constant population movements prevented normal agricultural activities.
A dry spell in October/November in Lunda Sul, also resulted in lower yields of maize and beans.

UNITA was also reportedly responsible for extrajudicial executions in localities such as Camaxilo in Lunda Norte, Katchiungo in Huambo, and Quimbele in Uige.
In at least one location in Lunda Sul, a mass grave that the government claimed was holding victims of UNITA's excesses was in all probability the result of systematic extrajudicial killings by the government.
The renewed conflict, and accompanying human rights abuses and violations of laws of war, were fueled by new flows of arms into the country, although arms purchases by the government significantly declined.

The Angolan armed forces launched an offensive in Lunda Norte province, in the north-east of the country, at the end of May, with the declared aim of securing the Angolan borders and preventing any incursion by armed elements from the Democratic Republic of the Congo [31].
Other surveys were subsequently carried out in most of the other provinces bordering on the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Moxico, Lunda Sul, Malanje and Uige) and in the areas around Huila, Benguela and Huambo, where a rise in tension could also be felt.
The general public was also made aware of the danger of mines by means of performances given by a group of traditional singers and dancers in the province of Huambo.
