Bima River

[1] The Bima flows through the Poko, Bambesa and Buta territories and enters the Uele River near Malengweya.

[6] Around November 1890 the Zanzibar Arab Mirambo arrived in the Uele region, starting from a point on the Aruwimi River upstream from Yambuya.

Passing the Rubi River he went NNE through Bagbwe and Bayo territory, and installed himself on the Bima near the Titulé post, having obtained the submission of the Bayo people, who supplied auxiliaries to attack the neighbouring people.

On 13 December 1890 Jules Alexandre Milz and Alphonse Vangèle took a position nearby.

[7] In late October 1891 the Ababua chief Sikito defeated the trader Purukandu on the route from the Falls to the Makongo River.
