Haut-Uélé (which means "Upper Uélé" in French) is an important province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It was created in 2015 as part of a big change to how the country is divided. Haut-Uélé, along with Bas-Uélé, Ituri, and Tshopo provinces, used to be part of a much larger area called Orientale province.
The province is named after the Uele River, which flows through the region. Its capital city is Isiro.
