People's Republic of the Congo (Simba Rebellion)

Not to be confused with the country Democratic Republic of the Congo that once used the same name.'''

In 1963-64, the Simba rebellion spread throughout the eastern Republic of the Congo.

Five older stamps including those of the Belgian Congo were overprinted REPUBLIQUE / POPULAIRE. There are other values known overprinted but either were never issued or have not been seen used.

The revolt was essentially ended by November 1965.
