as well as the transformation of 9 of the 10 preexisting ones

only the tripoint of maniema province with north & south kivu aka cd2mnnksk
remains unchanged
at the location shown above by numbers 11 12 13 & likewise shown below in
pink green & purple tricolor

so maybe it is more a question of when to celebrate this last old tripoint
still standing

or whether the changes will save the congo from cracking up entirely

Anyone successfully visiting all those points deserves a plaque as a charter member in the multi-pointing hall of fame.

Anyone successfully visiting even one of them deserves a medal, considering
the state of things in DRC,

really even unsuccessfully trying any one of them would be newsworthy

in fact just spotting & counting & naming them all was a fairly herculean
task

but my guess is that the new tripoints impending since 2006 will not become
finally effective until all 21 of the presidential cronies
er special commissioners
have actually reached the capitals of the new provinces they will be
temporarily governing
