    Zaire and Liberia are former names of two African nations whose present names I can't recall at the moment. And did Namibia have a former name?

    Zaire, formerly Belgian Congo, now Democratic Republic of Congo

    Namibia, formerly South West Africa under German control

    Liberia, settled by freed slaves - no other name

    Cote' d'Ivoire - Ivory Coast

    Sorry, folks, I beg to disagree, Ivory Coast is a french speaking country, it is and has been Côte d'Ivoire ever since french rule.

    Snowbird, did you mean Ghana, which was Gold Coast under british rule ?

    And what about Zambia, Lesotho and Malawi ?
