FishonaBike veteran Registered: 10/11/00 Posts: 1346 Loc: Sussex, England	a mini-mission to have Mogambo appear on National Geographic maps Hold your horses, bel! Just occurs to me that Mogambo could be an old name for a region now known by another name. In a similar manner to Ceylon 'becoming' Sri Lanka and Rhodesia, ummm, Zaire isn't it? And what was Yugoslavia now being officially recognised as a bunch of smaller countries. Both Marty's reference articles are dated 1997 - may this have been the last time when it was politically acceptable to use the old name? Just an idea.
