River between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of Congo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chiloango River[1] (Portuguese: Rio Chiluango[2], also known as Kakongo River,[3] Louango,[4] Shiloango[5] and Rio Hi[6]) is a river in western Central Africa. It forms the westernmost part of the border between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of Congo, and then forms approximately half of the border between the DRC and Cabinda, Angola[7] passing just south of the town of Necuto. The river then bisects Cabinda, making it the most important river in the province.[8] It enters the Atlantic Ocean just north of the town of Cacongo.[9][10]
