The ‘Third World’, despite a number of anomalies, remains ‘a convenient shorthand’ for the states of Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East; Krieger (ed.),
The Oxford Companion to Politics of the World
, pp. 834-5. The attempt to replace ‘Third World’ by the concept of a North-South divide between an economically advanced Northern hemisphere and a less developed South creates significantly more anomalies - among them the fact that the Sahara, the Middle East and most of Asia lie in the Northern hemisphere, while Australasia is in the South.

According to KGB rules, agents were required to agree ‘to co-operate secretly with an official intelligence representative’ and to carry out ‘consciously, systematically and secretly’ his intelligence assignments. ‘Confidential contacts’ were defined as those who ‘communicate to intelligence officers information of interest to them and carry out confidential requests which in substance are of an intelligence nature’; unlike agents, however, they had not accepted a formal obligation to carry out intelligence assignments. Mitrokhin (ed.),
KGB Lexicon
, pp. 3, 34.

The former Belgian Congo became independent in 1960 as the Republic of the Congo and was successively renamed the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 1964 and Zaire in 1971, reverting in 1997 to Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is often known as Congo (Kinshasa) to distinguish it from the former French colony, the Congo Republic, which is also known as Congo (Brazzaville).
