Kamina is a city in Katanga province, Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is located at around coord|8|44|19|S|24|59|26|E|region:CG_type:city|display=inline,title. When or if the proposed division of the country into the new provinces is achieved, it is to become the capital of the new Haut-Lomami province.

Transport

Kamina is known for being an important railway node; three lines of the DRC railways run from Kamina toward the north, west, and south-east. It has two airports, one civil (Kamina Airport) and one military (Kamina Base Airport).

It is now a 'brassage' centre for the slowly forming Army of the Military of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Brassage is the process whereby fighters of the former DRC warring factions are brought together into new combined units.
