Bakwa-Kalonji

Middle Africa

Bakwa-Kalonji is a settlement in Kasaï-Oriental Province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The country's census tables compiled by City Population list it with 39,094 inhabitants at the census of 1 July 1984 and an estimated 58,092 inhabitants on 1 July 2004, and GeoNames places it at latitude -4.36989 and longitude 20.77508 without giving a population figure. According to the digital elevation model GeoNames uses, the site stands about 514 metres above sea level, and it keeps Central Africa Time (UTC+2). Bakwa-Kalonji is not a provincial capital, so it appears in the census tables as one of the country's smaller towns rather than as the seat of a province. The atlas places it in the Middle Africa subregion of Africa and treats it as a city for browsing purposes.
