  Situation des deux Kivu par rapport au reste du pays

Le Kivu (prononcer Kivou) est une région et une ancienne province de l'est de la République démocratique du Congo. Cette région fut connue au XIXe siècle sous le nom de Maniema ou Manyema.

La province exista de 1933 à 1962 (sous le nom de province de Costermansville jusque 1947, du nom de sa capitale) et de 1966 à 1988.

La province fut divisée en 1988 entre trois provinces, le Nord-Kivu, le Sud-Kivu et le Maniema.

Le Kivu est également un lac situé à la frontière entre la RDC et le Rwanda.

De nombreux massacres y ont été perpétrés entre 1996 et 2005 par différentes armées, dont celles des généraux rebelles du Rassemblement congolais pour la démocratie (RCD) Nkundabatware et Mutebesi et des Forces armées congolaises et des milices diverses, congolaises et étrangères, dont les milices réfugiées depuis 1994 qui ont perpétré le génocide au Rwanda.

Lettris

Lettris is a curious tetris-clone game where all the bricks have the same square shape but different content. Each square carries a letter. To make squares disappear and save space for other squares you have to assemble English words (left, right, up, down) from the falling squares.

boggle

Boggle gives you 3 minutes to find as many words (3 letters or more) as you can in a grid of 16 letters. You can also try the grid of 16 letters. Letters must be adjacent and longer words score better. See if you can get into the grid Hall of Fame !
