French Equitorial Africa.
Opt Type 8 of the French Congo
I cannot see this listed anywhere under FEA, It exists in Oubangi Shari (Tchad) only. Any ideas? http://cjoint.com/data/gjj6vdKYY8.htm |

The first overprinted stamps listed in Scott under FEA are originally from Gabon - the second set of overprints listed under FEA started life as Middle Congo stamps, but that was a later set than the overprint you have above that is still listed in Middle Congo. Cérès reverses those sets - the first set is the later Middle Congo (or as Cérès calls it, French Congo) issue, the second set is the Gabon issue. What a mess! Gabon has been in the news the past couple of days, with the death of President Bongo. Ryan |

Thanks to Jill They are listed under "Middle Congo" I guess that makes sense, when taking into consideration Fr Congo was divided into 3, and only became part of FWA in 1937. Issues prior are part of Mid Congo. All's well that ends well "rodney" wrote in message ... Cheers Ryan, here is another from my album http://cjoint.com/data/gjlp0PIfnI.htm.

Congo-Brazzaville gained autonomy on the November 28, 1958 and independence from France on the August 15, 1960. Just to add some facts, after Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_the_Congo) : - Modern Slavery. Many Pygmies in Congo live as slaves to Bantu masters - Civil War. ...Congo's democratic progress was derailed in 1997. ...a four-month conflict that destroyed or damaged much of Brazzaville and caused tens of thousands of civilian deaths. - Civil War + Invasion. In early October, Angolan troops invaded Congo on the side of Sassou and, in mid-October, the Lissouba government fell. Soon thereafter, Sassou declared himself President. The Congo Civil War continued for another year and a half until a peace deal was struck between the various factions in December 1999. - The new old time. International observers took issue with the organization of the presidential election (2002 - VM) as well as the constitutional referendum, both of which were reminiscent in their organization of Congo's era of the single-party state. The last year for which Michel (online) lists stamps for Kongo-Brazzaville is 2006 (4 sets). The stamp Mi. # 1784, issued on March 14, 2006, is dedicated to the election of Congo president Denis Sassou-Nguesso as the president of the African Union. 500 Fr, multicolored, 2.00 Euro mint or used. -- Victor Manta, PWO, AIJP ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Communism on Stamps: http://reds-on.postalstamps.biz/ Philatelic Webmasters Organization: http://pwmo.org/ Art on Stamps: http://artonstamps.org/ Romania by Stamps: http://marci-postale.com/ Spanish North Africa: http://www.sna-on.postalstamps.biz/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
