'''Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Kongo''' (au '''Kongo-Kinshasa''') ni nchi iliyoko [[Afrika ya Kati]]; kwa ukubwa wa eneo ni ya pili [[bara]]ni [[Afrika]]. Ni tofauti na nchi jirani ya [[Jamhuri ya Kongo]]. 

[[Picha:Congo_Rep_Dem_carte.gif|right|200px|thumbnail|Ramani ya Jamhuri.]]

== Jiografia ==
Nchi imepakana na [[Jamhuri ya Kongo]], [[Jamhuri ya Afrika ya Kati]], [[Sudan Kusini]], [[Uganda]], [[Rwanda]], [[Burundi]], [[Tanzania]], [[Zambia]] na [[Angola]]. 

Ina sehemu ndogo ya pwani kwenye [[Bahari ya Atlantiki]]. Sehemu hiyo inatenganisha eneo la [[Cabinda]] kutoka maeneo mengine ya [[Jamhuri]] ya [[Angola]].

Eneo lote ni la [[kilometa mraba]] 2,345,409 na linafanya Kongo iwe nchi ya 11 duniani kwa ukubwa wa eneo.

== Historia ==
{{main|Historia ya Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Kongo}}
===Historia ya kale===
[[Picha:KingdomKongo1711.png|thumb|Ufalme wa Kongo mnamo mwaka 1700]]
Wakazi wa kwanza huaminiwa kuwa [[wawindaji]] wa jamii ya [[Wasani]] na ya [[Wabilikimo]]. 

Katika [[karne]] za [[BK]] walifika wahamiaji [[Wabantu]] wenye [[ujuzi]] wa [[kilimo]] na [[uhunzi]].

Jina la Kongo lahusiana na [[mto Kongo]] unaopitia nchi yote.

Mnamo [[karne ya 15]], wakati [[wapelelezi]] wa kwanza [[Wareno]] walipofika kwenye pwani za Afrika, [[milki]] kubwa katika nchi ya Kongo ya magharibi pamoja na [[Angola]] ya kaskazini ilikuwa [[Ufalme wa Kongo]]. Wakati wa uenezaji mkuu ufalme huu ulianza kwenye [[mwambao]] wa Atlantiki na kuendelea hadi [[mto Kwango]] kwenye mashariki, halafu maeneo kutoka [[Pointe-Noire]] (leo: [[Jamhuri ya Kongo]], upande wa kaskazini ya [[Cabinda]]) upande wa kaskazini hadi [[mto Loje]] (leo: mji wa [[Ambriz]]) katika kusini.

Mtawala alikuwa na [[cheo]] cha [[Manikongo]] na ufalme uligawiwa kwa majimbo sita. Baada ya kufika kwa Wareno wafalme na matabaka ya juu walikuwa [[Wakristo]]. Ufalme uliporomoka kutokana na vita vilivyosababishwa na [[biashara ya watumwa]] na kuingilia kwa [[wafanyabiashara]] ya [[watumwa]] katika [[siasa]] ya ndani. Hata hivyo, [[nasaba]] za watawala waliotumia cheo cha "Awenekongo" waliendelea kukaa katika [[mji mkuu]] wa kale M'banza-Kongo (iliyobadilishwa jina kuitwa San Salvador) hadi mwaka [[1914]] ambako Wareno walifuta mabaki ya [[uhuru]] na kufanya eneo lililobaki sehemu kamili ya koloni lao la Angola.

Upande wa [[kusini]], kuanzia [[karne ya 17]], kulikuwa na [[ufalme]] ulioitwa [[Dola la Kazembe]].

=== Koloni binafsi la mfalme kuwa koloni la Ubelgiji ===
[[Picha:MutilatedChildrenFromCongo.jpg|thumbnail|200px|Picha za watoto waliokatwa mikono kama [[adhabu]] chini ya Leopold II zilienea na kusababisha madai ya kumwondolea utawala wa Kongo.]]
Nchi jinsi ilivyo ilianzishwa kama [[Dola huru la Kongo]] likiwa [[mali]] binafsi ya [[mfalme]] [[Leopold II wa Ubelgiji]]. [[Historia]] yake ni ya [[aibu]] na ya [[ukatili]] kupindukia.

Utawala wa mfalme ulionekana kuwa wa kinyama na upinzani dhidi yake ulikua katika nchi nyingi za dunia. 

Hatimaye alipaswa kukabidhi koloni lake binafsi mikononi mwa serikali ya Ubelgiji iliyomlipa [[fidia]] kwa mali aliyoacha.

Kati ya mwaka [[1908]] hadi [[1960]] ilikuwa [[koloni]] la [[Ubelgiji]] kwa jina la [[Kongo ya Kibelgiji]] baada ya kuhamishiwa mikononi mwa [[serikali]] ya Ubelgiji. 

Katika miaka [[1925]] hadi [[1946]] maeneo ya [[Rwanda]] na [[Burundi]] yalitawaliwa kama sehemu za Kongo ya Kibelgiji.

=== Siasa ya wakoloni ===
Wabelgiji walijitahidi kuboresha hali ya maisha ya wenyeji baada ya miaka mibaya ya Leopold II. Nia ilichelewa kuonekana hali halisi kwa sababu utaratibu wa kulazimisha Waafrika kufanyia kazi kampuni na shirika kubwa iliendelea hata bila [[idhini]] ya serikali mpya ukadai vifo vingi. 

Kwenye uwanja wa [[elimu]], [[matibabu]] na [[mawasiliano]] [[jitihada]] za siasa mpya zilionekana zaidi. Kongo ilikuwa kati ya nchi chache ambako lugha za kienyeji zilifundishwa [[Shule|shuleni]] kwa sababu shule nyingi ziliendshwa na [[wamisionari]].

Kwa upande mwingine [[ubaguzi wa rangi]] uliwaruhusu Waafrika wachache sana kufikia ngazi za juu za elimu. 
 
Makampuni makubwa ya [[mgodi|migodi]] kama vile "Société Générale" na "Union Minière du Haut Katanga" yalichimba [[madini]] hasa katika jimbo la [[Katanga]]. Makampuni haya yalikuwa na athira kubwa. 

Katanga ilikuwa maarufu kwa [[shaba]] iliyochimbwa huko. halafu pia kwa [[uranium]] iliyotumiwa kwa [[bomu la kinyuklia|mabomu ya kwanza ya kinyuklia]] ya [[Marekani]] mwaka [[1945]].

=== Upinzani ===
Baada ya [[unyama]] wa miaka ya Leopold II upinzani dhidi ya utawala wa kikoloni ulikuwa hafifu. Kuanzia [[miaka ya 1920]] Wakongo wengi walionyesha upinzani huo katika mahudhurio katika madhehebu mapya ya wafuasi wa [[Simon Kimbangu]] yaliyopigwa marufuku na Wabelgiji kuanzia mwaka [[1926]].

Tangu mwaka [[1950]] upinzani uliongezeka na kuonyesha pia uso wa kisiasa.

Wabelgiji ambao hawakujiandaa kwa madai hayo yalipaswa kukubali [[uchaguzi]] wa halmashauri za vijiji na miji mwaka [[1957]]. 

Mwaka [[1958]] vyama vya kisiasa vilikubaliwa. [[Harakati]] mbili muhimu kati ya hivi zilikuwa Abako (Alliance de Bakongo) chini ya [[Joseph Kasavubu]] na MNC (Mouvement National Congolais) chini ya [[Patrice Lumumba]]. 

Mwaka [[1959]] mkutano wa wanasiasa Wakongo ulidai [[uhuru]] wa nchi.

=== Mwisho wa koloni na uhuru ===
Wabelgiji walijaribu kuchelewesha harakati hizo lakini baada ya kutambua matatizo serikali ya Ubelgiji ilitangaza mnamo Januari [[1960]] kuwa uchaguzi utaendeshwa haraka na baada ya miezi sita Wabelgiji watakabidhi nchi kwa wenyeji.

[[Chama]] cha Patrice Lumumba kilishinda kwa [[kura]] nyingi naye akawa kiongozi wa kwanza wa nchi huru kama [[waziri mkuu]]. 

Koloni la [[Kongo ya Kibelgiji]] lilipata [[uhuru]] tarehe [[30 Juni]] [[1960]].

Kati ya [[27 Oktoba]] [[1971]] na [[17 Mei]] [[1997]], chini ya utawala wa [[dikteta]] [[Mobutu]], nchi ilijulikana kwa jina la "[[Zaire]]".

Leo hii ni Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Kongo.

==Watu==
Mwaka [[2017]] wakazi walikuwa 81,339,988: [[idadi]] hiyo ni ya 4 kati ya nchi zote za Afrika, baada ya [[Nigeria]], [[Ethiopia]] na [[Misri]].

Wakazi asilia ni [[Wabilikimo]], ambao kwa sasa ni 600,000. Kumbe walio wengi ni [[Wabantu]].

=== Lugha ===
[[Picha:Map - DR Congo, major languages.svg|thumb|300px|Maeneo ya lugha kuu za Kongo]]
[[Kifaransa]] ni [[lugha rasmi]] ya Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Kongo. Ilikuwa lugha ya utawala ya koloni ikaendelea kutumiwa kama lugha isiyoelekea upande wowote kati ya ma[[kabila]], [[lugha]] na [[utamaduni|tamaduni]] za nchi hii. 

Lugha ya [[Kiholanzi]] iliyotumiwa na Wabelgiji pamoja na Kifaransa katika utawala haitumiki tena.

Kwa jumla kuna takriban lugha 242, hasa [[lugha za Kibantu]], zinazozungumzwa nchini (angalia [[Orodha ya lugha za Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Kongo|orodha ya lugha]]). Kati yake, lugha 4 zinatambuliwa kama [[lugha za kitaifa]], nazo ni: [[Kikongo]] ([[Kituba]]), [[Kingala (Kongo)]], [[Kiluba]] (''Tshiluba'') na [[Kiswahili]]. Wakati wa ukoloni lugha hizo nne za kitaifa ziliwahi kutumiwa kieneo katika [[shule za msingi]].

[[Kingala]] kilikuwa lugha rasmi ya [[jeshi]] la kikoloni lililoitwa "[[Force Publique]]" chini ya utawala wa Ubelgiji likaendelea kuwa lugha ya jeshi la jamhuri baada ya [[uhuru]].

Tangu [[mapinduzi]] ya [[1997]] sehemu za jeshi, hasa [[mashariki]], hutumia pia Kiswahili.

Takriban 47% wanatumia Kifaransa kama [[lugha ya kwanza]] au [[lugha ya pili]].

=== Dini ===
Wananchi wengi (zaidi ya 90%) wanajihesabu [[Wakristo]] wa [[madhehebu]] mbalimbali; kati yao asilimia 29.7 ni [[Wakatoliki]]. [[Waislamu]] ni asilimia 10-12. Wafuasi wa [[dini asilia za Kiafrika]] ni 3%.
