The Republic of Congo is a country in Central Africa, located on both sides of the equator. Its neighboring countries are: Gabon, Cameroon, Central African Republic, DR Congo, and Angola. The country stretches over 1,200 km. It has a 170 km coastline between the enclave of Cabinda (Angola) in the south and Gabon. It also has a road network that serves the entire territory and 5,000 km of waterways. The administrative and political capital is Brazzaville, and the economic capital is Pointe Noire. These two cities account for nearly 551,000 tons of the total population and 901,000 tons of the urban population. Nearly two-thirds of the territory is covered in dense forests and crisscrossed by waterways. On the eastern side of the country, the Congo River and the Oubangui River act as almost natural borders with the DRC. Thanks to its forest and peat bogs, the Congo is an important carbon sink for the planet.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
