Zambia's founding president Kenneth Kaunda died at the age of 97. Popularly known by his initials KK, Kaunda was nicknamed by some "Africa's Gandhi" for his non-violent, independence-related activism in the 1960s.
Zambia
Zambia is a landlocked country at the crossroads of Central, Southern and East Africa.
Its neighbors are the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the north, Tanzania to the north-east, Malawi to the east, Mozambique to the southeast, Zimbabwe and Botswana to the south, Namibia to the southwest, and Angola to the west.
The capital city of Zambia is Lusaka.
The Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) is headquartered in Lusaka.
Zambia is drained by two major river basins:
the Zambezi/Kafue basin in the center, west, and south covering about three-quarters of the country; and
the Congo basin in the north covering about one-quarter of the country.
Two of the Zambezi's longest and largest tributaries, the Kafue and the Luangwa, flow mainly in Zambia. The Zambezi falls about 100 metres (328 ft) over the 1.6 km (0.99 mi) wide Victoria Falls, located in the south-west corner of the country, subsequently flowing into Lake Kariba.
