Republic of the Congo

The Republic of the Congo sits at the heart of equatorial Africa, its landscape dominated by dense rainforest, the broad Congo River basin, and a narrow Atlantic coastline. Brazzaville, the capital, faces Kinshasa across the river — two national capitals separated by less than two kilometres of water, an unusual geographic intimacy found nowhere else on Earth.

About Republic of the Congo

Overview

Bordering Gabon, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Angola's Cabinda exclave, the Republic of the Congo occupies west-central Africa. The capital is Brazzaville; French is the official language and the CFA franc is the currency. The country's identity is shaped by Bantu cultural traditions, the Congo River, and an economy historically tied to oil extraction and timber.
