COMMENTARY

Margaret 6th December 2004	I have just looked at your site for information relating to the DRC and am appalled to see that you have listed Brazzaville as its largest city and the CFAF as its currency. You seem not to know the difference between the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Republic of Congo!
Helpful Genie 8th January 2005	Border countries: Angola 2,511 km (of which 225 km is the boundary of Angola's discontiguous Cabinda Province), Burundi 233 km, Central African Republic 1,577 km, Republic of the Congo 2,410 km, Rwanda 217 km, Sudan 628 km, Tanzania 459 km, Uganda 765 km, Zambia 1,930 km
