Ibby, methinks you are missing something right under your nose. Are you in a city that begins with the letter K?

I am in an overseas territory of a country located primarily in Europe.
I am not in a city that begins with the letter K. (Not sure what you think Ibby missed, Kent.)

Are you in an island that is part of the territory of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha (UK)? I'd considered that CMK may have been in the DRC itself, Kent, but then (learning from my mistake with South Africa) decided to explore this avenue first because ofthe wording of previous questions

I am not in Saint Helena. (Isn't that covered by your previous question?)

Ah, I thought you answered YES to the last one.
Wow, I really do need more sleep.
Are you in Bouvet Island?

I am not in South Georgia or the south Sandwich Islands.
I'm going to throw out this hint to sort of get you back on track: when I said I was in Africa, I was speaking of a place that could very comfortably be geographically considered Africa. The South Atlantic islands that you've been guessing since you correctly hit on "overseas territory of a country located primarily in Europe" are something of a stretch to be called "Africa." In addition, the rules of the game are that the place must be populated, which wasn't true of Bouvet Island and is someone arguable re: South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. The place I am has a genuine native population.

Sadly though, the lists I'm looking at don't have any more territories that fit all the criteria (located in Africa, overseas territory, south of the western-most point of the DR Congo). It couldn't possibly be the Azores, Madeira or the Canary Islands...
Are you in an overseas territory of Portugal?

Interesting, can you link me to one such list? I'm 100% certain that the place I'm in fits all of those criteria.

Ah, your problem is that you're looking at lists of islands in the Atlantic Ocean.
I am indeed in a territory of France - a country with an Atlantic Ocean coast (as per that question) - but the African territory in question is not in the Atlantic.

Thanks for the clue. I didn't consider that the Atlantic Ocean extended that far.
Are you in Reunion?
