The Republic of the Congo is also known as Congo-Brazzaville to prevent confusion with the Democratic Republic of the Congo, whose capital is Kinshasa.
Denis Sassou Nguesso has been the country's president since 1979, with a short interruption between 1992 and 1997. His reelection has provoked protest from a deeply fractured opposition. According to Voice of America, the case of the Congo demonstrates that strongmen are likely to remain a dominant feature of African politics in the foreseeable future.
