Benge (CD)

Benge is a village in the Bas-Uélé province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It was a station on the defunct Vicicongo line, a railway. During the colonial period Benge was a chiefdom of the Mondingima tribe in the Zobia Territory. The main axis of the Vicicongo line built by the Société des Chemins de Fer Vicinaux du Congo ran east from Andoma through Benge to Zobia. This section was opened in December 1932.
