I want to know what the relationship is between Borneo and the Congo? Is Borneo in the Congo?

Apart from both being tropical hell holes none - they are thousands of miles apart in different continents.

Confusingly, there are two 'Congo's.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (also known as 'Congo-Kinshasa') is a very large central African country:

The Republic of the Congo (also known as 'Congo-Brazzaville') is much smaller, and lies to the north-west of Congo-Kinshasa:

Borneo isn't a country. It's a massive island, containing parts of Indonesia and Malaysia, and the whole of Brunei.

The island lies (very roughly) midway between China and Australia.

I can think of no connection whatsoever between the island of Borneo and either of the two African states bearing the name 'Congo'.
