I think the correct name is Democratic Republic of Congo. Can someone correct this entry? SR
Why don't we call this country South Congo and the Republic of Congo - North Congo??? We have North and South Korea, so why not South and North Congo??? -- swPawel
North/South Korea and North/South Vietnam aren't official names of these countries, but they are in use. -- swPawel
What is this I hear of a North and South Congo? There are no such contries. It is not our concern that the leaders of these nations are stupid enough to call the countries they rule darn near the same thing. We simply must use the names that those countries and the UN use -- end of story. Wikipedia is not in the business of renaming countries. -- maveric149
The French names for the countries are République (Démocratique) du Congo, but the du need not be rendered of the: it's just French grammar to use du rather than de in such names. I would prefer 'Congo' over 'the Congo' in the English names. And one more voice here to confirm they are never called North and South (anyway, in my atlas they look more east and west!). - What I really want to ask is what on earth is this "Akira's land"? -- Gritchka
A section about its international affiliations to organizations is missing. ROGNNTUDJUU! 23:58, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
Given the cynical nature of foreign policy, I would say that the end of the Cold War was at least as important as growing human rights abuses for the decreasing Western support. Stefan29 14:59, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
