| République Democratique du Congo, Congo Democratic Republic, former Zaire. Once a Belgian Colony after it was conquered by King Leopold II who appropriated for himself a region as large as Europe. In the so called Congo Free State he had the power of an Emperor, a power he didn't receive in his Kingdom Belgium. Today Congo is still very beautyful, but not happy. Peace is far away since Independence, the assassination of Patrice Lumumba, the rise and fall of Moise Tshombe, Joseph Mobutu and Laurent-Désiré Kabila.
