The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is a country based in Central Africa. Also known as Congo-Kinshasa, the DR Congo should not be confused with the Republic of Congo, also known as Congo-Brazzaville, its neighbor to the west. It is the second largest country in Africa by geography and the fourth largest by population.

What are your thoughts on the Lobita Corridor, is it bad or good for the Congo?

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cpq9jyv827do.amp

Does this make the situation in Congo worse, or neutral or does it benefit the Congo in anyway?

Is there a public education system in Congo?

My mother tells me everyone has to pay for school in the DRC (but she hasn’t lived there since the late 90s) is there really no public education system? And if not, how’s the current education system working?

Question about the boycotts

How far do the boycotts range? Recently for Black Friday I’ve been thinking about getting RAM sticks for laptop but I’m very conflicted due to everything going down in Congo. Would it be ethical or no?

How Is the Against Malaria Foundation Perceived in Congo?

I live in the US and give some amount of money annually to charity. The "Against Malaria Foundation" is popular for donors, because they are perceived as having a large impact at reducing the incidence of Malaria.

In Congo, is the foundation a well known name? Is it perceived positively?

Mobutu Sese Seko, then an army commander, in Kinshasa prior to the opening session of the parliament. A few days before, on 24 November 1965, he had seized power in a bloodless coup. He ruled the country for over 30 years, until being overthrown by rebels in 1997 (r/HistoryPorn)

Is there some type of young adult Congolese group I could join in the Washington DC area?

Long story short, I was born in DRC but my family came to the US when I was young. I grew up in Virginia, in a predominantly white area, and not really any close family around us.

I’m very introverted and I like to stick to myself, but this past year I’ve been feeling a pull to try to connect with the Congolese community in this area and hopefully form real friendships through it with people in their late 20s-30s.

Also, my French has gotten so bad the past couple of years since I no longer use it on a daily basis 😖. So I also would love help in strengthening my French skills.

I know Fally Ipupa will be performing in Maryland this coming Sunday. I’m going to try to force myself to get out of my comfort zone and go, but concert venues that are general admission only make me so uncomfortable!

Thank you in advance for any help/suggestions 😊

Word in DRC to describe someone who is 'the life of the party'

Hey all! I'm working on something and your assistance would be very helpful! I was wondering what the best word used in DRC to describe someone who is 'the life of the party' is?

I don't want to use ChatGPT as I'm 90% sure it will get it wrong.

Thanks!
