剛果民主共和國

不要和剛果共和國搞錯囉!因為有民主兩字,又稱民主剛果(DR Congo)或剛果(金)。土地面積為非洲第二大,也是全世界人口最多的法語國家。剛果民主共和國在全球十大不受關注的難民危機國家中排名第一。國內有超過 550萬人流離失所,居世界第三位。另外有2,700 萬人(佔該國人口的三分之一)處於飢餓狀態。東部有數十個武裝團體,其中最活躍的屬圖西族組成的M23。2022年M23再次對政府軍發動攻擊,民主剛果指責鄰國盧安達支持M23,兩國之間關係緊張。為此,東非共同體(EAC)還派遣一支部隊進入民主剛果,以平息席捲該國東北部的暴力事件。國內自然資源豐富,尤其是鈷礦,占世界總產量的70%,吸引中美大國爭相收購。
看2022不要和剛果共和國搞錯囉!因為有民主兩字,又稱民主剛果(DR Congo),或剛果(金)。土地面積為非洲第二大,也是世界人口最多的法語國家。坐擁大量自然資源及珍貴礦產,因此成為各國覬覦的對象。法國、俄羅斯、美國等軍火買賣更是該國政局混亂升高的重要關鍵。長期遭恐怖組織和武裝勢力控制,人類發展指數和人均GDP皆為全球倒數。飽受伊波拉病毒所苦。伊波拉病毒便是以該國河流命名。聯合國維安部隊長期派駐於此。
Year Founded: 1960
Don't confuse it with the Republic of the Congo! The Democratic Republic of the Congo is also known as Congo-Kinshasa or DR Congo. It is, by area, the second-largest state in all of Africa, and the most populous officially Francophone country in the world. It is extremely rich in natural resources, but suffers from political instability. Large quantities of weapons and ammunition from France, Russia, and America have propagated the country's political turmoil. Controlled by terrorist organizations and armed forces, the country ranks bottom on the human development index. It was seriously plagued by the Ebola outbreak. Ebola is named after a river in this country. The United Nations Peacekeeping Force has been deployed in DR Congo for a long time.
