Military Introduction Congo, Democratic Republic of the Background: Since 1997 the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DROC; formerly called Zaire) has been rent by ethnic strife and civil war, touched off by a massive inflow in 1994 of refugees from the fighting in Rwanda and Burundi. The government of former president MOBUTU Sese Seko was toppled by a rebellion led by Laurent KABILA in May 1997; his regime was subsequently challenged by a Rwanda- and Uganda-backed rebellion in August 1998. Troops from Zimbabwe, Angola, Namibia, Chad, and Sudan intervened to support the Kinshasa regime. A cease-fire was signed on 10 July 1999 by the DROC, Zimbabwe, Angola, Uganda, Namibia, Rwanda, and Congolese armed rebel groups RCD-G and MLC, but sporadic fighting continued. KABILA was assassinated on 16 January 2001 and his son Joseph KABILA was named head of state on 26 January 2001. Despite taking a radically different approach than his father, the new president has been equally unsuccessful in ending the war.

    THE LAND
    Geography
    C
    overing an area of 2,435,409 sq. km, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), formerly known as Republic of Zaire, is geographically the largest State in Southern/Central Africa and is situated at the heart of Africa. The country is bordered by the Republic of Congo (west), Central African Republic (north west), Sudan (north east), Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and Tanzania (east), Zambia (south east) and Angola (south west).
    The DRC's geographical formation is characterised by a vast central basin plateau rising to volcanoes and mountains in the east. More than half the country is covered by dense rainforest.
    The country is traversed by numerous rivers including the Kasai, Kwango, Kwilu, Ubangi, Mongala and Uele. But the Congo river, being the largest, is the most important in terms of its potential as a source of water and for power generation. Climate
    The DRC lies on the Equator. Temperatures are hot and humid in the central region, getting cooler and drier in the southern highlands, and cooler and wetter in the eastern highlands. The DRC has a tropical climate with two distinct seasons. The 'dry season' (18 to 27 degrees Celsius) called 'Congolese Winter' is from June to August. The 'rainy season' (22 to 33 degrees Celsius) runs from September to May when heavy, monsoon rains come. People and History
    Estimated at 49.3 million, the population is divided into 11 provinces: Kinshasa, Bas-Congo, Bandundu, Equateur, Oriental Province, Eastern Kasai, Western Kasai, Katanga, Maniema, North-Kivu and South-Kivu. The most densely populated of the 11 provinces is Oriental Province with 6,274,895 inhabitants.
