I think you should do some research and find out what Congolese people typicaly use for names. My limited understanding is that the Congo was once Belgian-controlled and that French is still spoken there, so I would expect a French name. Is the character Muslim or Christian or what, because that would play a role too.
I wouldn't worry about avoiding letters; readers can keep multiple people with the same letter beginning their names straight very easily.
