Congo
There are two countries named Congo in Africa; here, Congo refers to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), also known as Congo-Kinshasa. The DRC is located in Central Africa and is the second-largest country on the continent. Its capital and largest city is Kinshasa. The population stands at around 112 million, making it the most populous Francophone country in the world.
The official language is French, but there are over 200 indigenous languages spoken. The country has vast rainforests and diverse terrain, with the Congo River playing a central ecological and economic role. Formerly a Belgian colony, the DRC gained independence in 1960 and has experienced both periods of conflict and recovery.
The nation is extremely rich in mineral resources but faces significant challenges such as political instability, violence, and poverty.
