Is Djibouti really the ONLY African country that shares its name with its capital?

Is Djibouti really the ONLY African country that shares its name with its capital??


For some reason, i was bored one night in my bedroom and i decided to flick through the World Atlas, my attention turned to Africa.. i was looking at the names and suddenly came to the conclusion that djibouti and its capital are the same.. but is it really true that it is the only one??

Tunisia
Reply:Djibouti is TINY - less than a million people - and most of them live in the capital city, Djibouti. So that might be why. Most of the rest of the country is incredibly hot and arid - can't grow anything, etc.





Some people (many in Africa) refer to Congo and Democratic Republic of Congo as Congo-Brazzaville and Congo-Kinshasa, so you could say that those are also called by their capital names.
Reply:It's not the only one. There's Tunisia for example. It's the only one else I know actually :) .
