There are a few countries on earth with the same name, everyone knows about South and North Korea because they frequently make their way to the headline but other twins like Cyprus and Northern Cyprus, or DR Congo and R Congo. We’re going to introduce the least known twins, Guinea and Guinea Bissau, the twins who were separated since birth!
