Tshikapa is the capital of Kasai Province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, located at the confluence of the Tshikapa and Kasai rivers about 60 kilometers north of the Angolan border. Its population grew from 38,900 in 1970 to 180,900 in 1994 before the Congo wars and the Kamwina Nsapu rebellion triggered waves of internal displacement, and the World Population Review estimates its 2025 urban agglomeration population at 1,185,920.
