It is located at around {{coor at dms|8|44|19|S|24|59|26|E|region:CG_type:city}}. When or if the proposed division of the country into the new provinces is achieved, it is to become the capital of the new [[Haut-Lomami]] province. ==Transport== Kamina is known for being an important railway node; three lines of the DRC railways run from Kamina toward the north, west, and south-east. It has two airports, one civil ([[Kamina Airport]]) and one military ([[Kamina Base Airport]]). It is now a 'brassage' centre for the slowly forming Army of the [[Military of the Democratic Republic of the Congo]]. Brassage is the process whereby fighters of the former DRC warring factions are brought together into new combined units. {{New DRC provincial capitals}} [[Category:Cities, towns and villages in the Democratic Republic of the Congo]] {{DRCongo-geo-stub}} [[fr:Kamina]] [[kg:Kamina]] [[pl:Kamina]]
