About Congo Republic Country

The region was dominated by Bantu tribes, who built trade links leading into the Congo River basin. The republic is a former French colony.[4] Upon independence in 1960, the former French region of Middle Congo became the Republic of the Congo. The People's Republic of the Congo was an Soviet Bloc Marxist-Leninist single-party state from 1970 until the regime was replaced by multi-party elections in 1992. However, a brief civil war in 1997 resulted in the overthrowing of democratically elected president Pascal Lissouba and the installation of the country's former socialist dictator Denis Sassou Nguesso to power. About half the population live below the international poverty line of US$1.25 a day.
