DRC is the acronym of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a country located in Central Africa. The country’s name is sometimes shortened to Congo, depending on the context in which it is being discussed. It is also sometimes referred to as DR Congo, Congo DR, or as Congo with the capital’s name appended in some manner, such as Congo (Kinshasa), which are all shorter versions of its name and which also serve to differentiate it from its neighbor, the similarly named Republic of the Congo, which has its capital at Brazzaville.
