Congo (area)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Congo is a region in Central Africa inhabited by the Kongo people, who speak the Kikongo (the Kongo language), and other ethnic groups. The Congo River flows through the region. The region spans across the Republic of the Congo (former French Congo), Democratic Republic of the Congo (former Zaïre/Belgian Congo), and the Angolan exclave of Cabinda (former Portuguese Congo) which lies between the Republic and the Democratic Republic.
