Re: Communism It might well be a reference to Communist states given that Congo was a "People's Republic" between 1970 and 1991. So it would be useful to learn which period the text at stake is dealing with.

Not really a translation question. You'll find various color schemes. Some relate to the spread of viruses, AIDS etc., and yes, Communism; all sorts of distinctions, usually contrasting with blue.
