The origin of the Congo river is from Lake Tanganyika of East African Rift in Zambia. There the river is called Chambeshi River. After passing Lake Bangweulu in the border of Zambia it is called river Luapula which joins the Lake Mweru in the border of Zambia and Republic of Congo from where it is called Luvua River. River Luvua joins River Lualaba after which the river is called the Congo River. Congo River which flows first in the northwest direction, then makes a turn to the South west direction, hence crossing the equator twice. Then the river flows in the borders of Democratic Republic of Congo and Republic of Congo before draining into the Atlantic ocean. The Congo River carries a massive amount of water, with a discharge of 40 million liters per second, making it the second most voluminous river after the Amazon. Some sections of the river are over 220 meters deep, making it the deepest river on Earth. It supports the Congo Rainforest, the world’s second-largest, home to many rare animals like Okapi, Gorilla and Bonobo. The Congo River splits the capitals of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kinshasa and the Republic of the Congo, Brazzaville, placing them on opposite banks of the river, making them the closest capital cities in the world to each other. #Congo #Africa #Rivers #Geography #Maps #Mapanimation #Congoriver #Amazon #DRC #countries #asia #Europe | History + Geopolitics
