What is the name of the longest river in Africa?

The longest river in Africa, which, according to many scientists, is also recognized as the longest on the entire planet, is the Nile (another river that claims to be the longest is the Amazon). The Nile begins in the central parts of the continent and travels from south to north. For many countries (primarily Sudan and Egypt), this river is the main source of drinking water.
The second longest river on the continent is the Congo, which flows in central Africa. Congo surpasses the Nile in terms of water flow.
