Brief History. The Portuguese arrived in the central African region intent on expanding their slave trading interests, but Portuguese power weakened and the French began to assume supremacy in western Africa. The Congo achieved full independece in 1960, one year after becoming autonomous. The Congo became a People's Republic, with Marxist-Leninist leanings. After a series of government changes, the Congo took steps towards the formation of a multiparty democracy in 1990. Opposition parties were officially legalized in 1991 with presidential elections in 1992. But in 1997, fighting broke out in the capital when the president tried to have his principal opponent arrested just prior to new elections.
Hello, I am Shakil Huq. Welcome to my site of excitement and lucrative world of currency. I have created this site to share my hobbies.
I’m a very passionate guy who works very hard to get the good results. Over the last decade I have travelled various places across the world to collect and research on foreign currency. I adore and am proud of my collections.
It’s not an easy job, night after night I have worked round the clock to get to where I am now. Please take a look at what I have tried and achieved with more details and information I have added.
If you have any question, please feel free to email me.
