pls give the old name of zaire and ghana.?

Answer 1

Zaire : In 1960 the Belgian Congo gained its independence as the "Republic of the Congo" from Belgium. This was the same name as that of a former French colony, Congo, with which it shares a border. In 1966 the Republic of the Congo added Democratic to become Democratic Republic of the Congo. However, the two countries are commonly distinguished by their capitals: Congo-Kinshasa (then Congo-Léopoldville) and Congo-Brazzaville.

Ghana : formed from the merger of the British colony Gold Coast and the British Togoland trust territory by a U.N. sponsored plebiscite, Ghana in 1957 became the first sub-Saharan country in colonial Africa to gain its independence. Kwame Nkrumah was an African anti-colonial leader, founder and first president of the modern Ghanaian state. He started the Pan-African Movement, which was an idea he conceived from his studies in the United States, at the time when Marcus Garvey was becoming famous for his "Back to Africa Movement".

Answer 2

Zaire was formerly the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
