Map of Congo

Congo, also known informally Congo - Brazzaville, officially the

Republic of Congo is a central African country, located on either side of the equator. Its neighbors are Gabon, Cameroon, Central

African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo - which it is separated, in part, by the Congo River and the Ubangi - and

Cabinda (Angola). The country stretches over 1300 km from north to south, the Atlantic Ocean to the CAR border. The

Republic of Congo is often called Congo - Brazzaville to distinguish it from the other Congo, officially called the

Democratic Republic of Congo, also known as Congo - Kinshasa. She also bore the name of People's Republic of Congo

from 1969 to 1992.


History Ancient history

The Mbuti Pygmies are the original inhabitants of Congo. The

country was then hit by the great migration of Bantu came from the north along the coast and rivers. Several successive

kingdoms, of which it is not yet familiar with the origins: the kingdom Teke south in the land; Kongo several kingdoms on the

coast and in the mountains of Mayombe. Bantu introducing iron working and building a sales network in the Congo Basin.

Colonization

The first contact with Europeans took place in the fifteenth century, and trade quickly established with local kingdoms. The coastal region is a major source for trafficking of transatlantic slavery. When it expires in the nineteenth century, the Bantu Authorities are eroding giving way to colonialism. In 1482, after the first surveys conducted by Portuguese navigators, Don Diego Cao explorer reached the mouth of the Congo. Contacts with the Kingdom of Kongo raise tensions. Trafficking operates a large demographic toll and greatly destabilizing political entities and central African societies in general.

The Franco-Italian explorer Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza.


Road to independence

In 1926, André Matsoua founded a friendly responsible for assisting skirmishers (veterans who participated with the

French Army in the First World War). The harsh operating conditions of the colony (see Congo-Ocean Railway) explain that

nationalism is quickly developed in the Congo. This quickly becomes a friendly protest, the colonial administration gets

scared and jailed Matsoua, who died in prison in 1942, remained in dark conditions. The movement is transformed into

a church that recruits mostly in their ethnic group.

Geography

The Republic of Congo is located in Central Africa. The

neighboring countries are Gabon (West), Cameroon (North-West), Angola and Cabinda enclave (South), Central African

Republic (North) and the Democratic Republic of Congo (RDC). The Congo River, the second largest river in the world by

average flow after the Amazon, forms part of the border between the Republic of Congo and DRC.

Rainforest covers nearly two-thirds of the territory of the Republic of Congo2, making it the fifth country in the world by

the proportion of forest cover. The equator crosses the Congo; passing through the city of

Makoua in the Cuvette region, is represented by a terminal. The country has a coastline on the Atlantic Ocean with a length of

220 km.


Demography

Main article: Demographics of the Republic of Congo.

Demographic changes between 1961 and 2003 (figure in FAO,

2005). Population in thousands. With more than four million inhabitants, Congo - Brazzaville is

a country of low densities, with an average of 13 inhabitants / km2.; the only countries less densely populated sub-Saharan

Africa are Gabon, Central African Republic, Chad, Mauritania, Namibia and Botswana. Most of its population is urban (62.2%

of the population); it is concentrated in the two major cities, Brazzaville and Pointe-Noire, located in the southern part of the

country. One can speak of "macrobicéphalie3" Brazzaville and Pointe-Noire have respectively about 1.1 million and 650 000,

while the third largest city, Dolisie, reached just 100 000 inhabitants. The urban fabric is very dense, with a dozen cities

with more than 10,000 inhabitants and an area of 342,000 km2.

Southern rural areas are densely populated (between 5 and 40 inhab. / Km2), the maximum being reached in the Boko region

(Pool) and surrounding areas. In contrast, the northern part of the country can be described as human desert, with densities

ranging mostly between 0 and 2 hab. / Km2, especially in swampy areas of the northeast.
