ISO 3166-2
ISO 3166-2 is part of the ISO 3166 standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and defines codes for identifying the principal subdivisions (e.g., provinces or states) of all countries coded in ISO 3166-1. The official name of the standard is Codes for the representation of names of countries and their subdivisions – Part 2: Country subdivision code. It was first published in 1998.
The purpose of ISO 3166-2 is to establish an international standard of short and unique alphanumeric codes to represent the relevant administrative divisions and dependent territories of all countries in a more convenient and less ambiguous form than their full names. Each complete ISO 3166-2 code consists of two parts, separated by a hyphen:
ISO 3166-2:CD
ISO 3166-2:CD is the entry for the Democratic Republic of the Congo in ISO 3166-2, part of the ISO 3166 standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which defines codes for the names of the principal subdivisions (e.g., provinces or states) of all countries coded in ISO 3166-1.
Currently for the Democratic Republic of the Congo, ISO 3166-2 codes are defined for 1 city and 10 provinces. The city Kinshasa is the capital of the country and has special status equal to the provinces. Each code consists of two parts, separated by a hyphen. The first part is CD, the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The second part is two letters.
A new subdivision layout was scheduled to take effect in February 2009, which would have 1 city and 25 provinces. In an October 2010 conclave of the ruling AMP coalition, it was proposed to revise Article 226, which calls for the creation of 26 provinces out of the current 11, in order to allow more time for the transition.

Village
by: AsgautThe sky went black
On a cold morning
The rain washed our pain
Your lips were frozen
As they were made of ashes.
Remember all you said.
Watching you laugh and cry
With a fake smile (of the despairation)
You sit there all by yourself
By those gates of heaven and earth
In the search of the truth.
Do you remember the time?
that I've went for you
In the great forest
Spending days and nights
By the lake of the black water.
I'm falling inside ,Your beauty
taking a good look of it all
Is this the last time of being?
I cant forget the way you smiled to me
Your breath was cold
And now there all gone to a place unknown
While the stars shining in my eyes
I've went there all by myself
And almost died.
Did we cried about this time?
or Just was it a time to forgive?
I try forget the misery
And I'm falling even deeper
Into sadness.
What will
I feel
If you tell me
Leave me be
Dont you know?
So much pain!
I come from a long way
In a search of your heart
Won't you let me in?
Is this my sin?
What will I do
And where will I go now?
Illusions never stops
Where are you to come my way?
To be in my arms
To embrace you once again
