What is/was the AEF and is there an article on it? (I'm assuming it's the pre-WWII French administration of African colonies) --Xoddam 01:38, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)

It most definitely was -- I was just there, and then I was here, and I was like, "Wait....." Also, the article has very little on the Congo from 1900-1950 (which I need to know, incidentally, for a homework assignment. Eilicea 15:26, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

There is some confusion on this page and elsewhere on the net, and I am not yet ready to make an edit with authority, but I am 99.9% sure that Congo/Brazzaville referred to itself as the Democratic Republic of the Congo during its pro-Soviet phase. This name has since been adopted by what used to be Zaire. However, originally it was Brazzaville that had the name, and this should be made clear.

I will keep you posted...
