Founded in 1998, the University of Uélé[1] is a public institution of higher education located in the city of Isiro, in the Haut-Uele province. Officially recognized by the Ministry of Higher Education and University of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, it officially opened its doors on October 29, 2001 (2001-10-29). It is managed by the Dominican Fathers.[2]

History

[edit]

Created through the initiative of the residents of the Uélé basin in collaboration with the Order of Preachers (Dominican Fathers), the University of Uélé became legal on April 1, 1998 (1998-04-01) and obtained its provisional approval by ministerial decree No. EDN/CAB.MIN/ESU/0066/98 on April 11, 1998 (1998-04-11).

Although authorized to operate, the start of the university's activities was delayed due to the Second Congo War that broke out in the east of the country on August 2, 1998 (1998-08-02), and University of Uélé activities eventually began on October 29, 2001 (2001-10-29) in Isiro.[3]
