Komo

The Komo, also called Kumu, inhabit the forest country of eastern Congo. Their language is spoken across a broad region extending eastwards toward the rivers near Walikale, with the Lega to the south and Nyanga to the east. Cultivation and the resources of the forest support their communities. Among their ritual traditions, the Nkunda association uses carved masks in initiation and divination; the mask known as nsembu represents the spirit of a diviner.

The later city of Bukavu lies here.
