Congo chat — Brazzaville, the river, and the rainforest
The Republic of Congo (Congo-Brazzaville) is distinct from its larger neighbour the DRC, separated only by the mighty Congo River — making Brazzaville and Kinshasa the closest pair of capital cities in the world. This oil-rich, French-speaking nation is blanketed by some of the densest tropical rainforest on the continent. Nearby Chat connects Congolese from the buzzing capital Brazzaville to the Atlantic port city of Pointe-Noire and the communities in between.
