The Bundu dia Kongo (Kingdom of Kongo) is a political-religious group centred in the Bas-Congo province (west of Kinshasa) which has campaigned for the independence of the Bas-Congo region from the rest of the DRC. Its adherents have to renounce western and eastern religions. It seeks the restoration of the ancient Kongo Kingdom with its pre-colonial boundaries, which encompass parts of today's Angola, Republic of Congo and Gabon. The centre of the kingdom was located in Bas-Congo Province and in neighbouring Bandundu Province in the DRC. Bundu dia Kongo adherents have protested in the past against former presidents Mobutu and Laurent Kabila. These protests have occasionally ended in the deaths of the groups' adherents, who have themselves sometimes been armed.

A Bundu dia Kongo demonstration took place in Bas-Congo on July 22, 2002.

It was broken up by the security forces who shot dead 14 demonstrators. Provincial authorities suspect Bundu dia Kongo adherents of having set fire to the public prosecutor's office during the night of 7/8 July 2002, completely destroying the building.
