Mohammad Mahmudur Rahman Niaz Carpeted by huge swaths of rainforest and punctuated by gushing rivers and smoking volcanoes, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) offers ultimate African adventure. This Central African country is the most-populous Francophone country in the world. DRC was first inhabited by Central African foragers around 90,000 years ago and by the Bantu people about 3,000 years ago. It achieved independence from Belgium on 30 June 1960 under the name Republic of the Congo. This country is extremely rich in natural resources but has suffered from political instability, lack of infrastructure, corruption, colonial extraction and exploitation with little widespread development. The Democratic Republic of the Congo is named after the Congo River, which flows throughout the country. The Congo River is the world s deepest river and the world s second-largest river by discharge.
