Libenge, Democratic Republic of the Congo

Life in Libenge is no walk in the park. The territory has a population of 37,344, but the bureaucracy is a persistent headache. Territories like this one are led by administrators appointed by the central government, with little local autonomy. And with 73% of the electorate living in these divisions, the political situation can be unstable. This is a city for those with a high tolerance for red tape and uncertainty.
