Brazil reopens mission in DR Congo after a decade
Brazil has reopened its embassy in the DR Congo after pulling our more that a decade ago due to political instability.
The country, then known as Zaire and ruled by Military Dictator Mobutu Sese Seko, was undergoing turmoil as the winds of democracy swept the Africa region in 1991-93.
Brazil`s new envoy, Flavio Roberto Bonzanini, Monday presented his credentials to the DRC foreign affairs and international cooperation minister Raymond Ramazani Baya.
