History
editCreated 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 and obtained its provisional approval by ministerial decree No. EDN/CAB.MIN/ESU/0066/98 on April 11, 1998.
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, and University of Uélé activities eventually began on October 29, 2001 in Isiro.[3]
