Zaïre also an exception?

Perhaps even in another lesson on this site, but certainly in other references have seen 'le Zaïre' as an exception to the "-e rule" - I believe it is also masculine and should be added to the list in this lesson. For example https://www.lawlessfrench.com/vocabulary/countries-and-continents/

Why do the examples in this lesson include the sentence, "Vive le vent, vive le vent"? How does this illustrate the subjontif?

Savoir comment

Looking at this sentence - 'je sais comment pousser les gens à bout' - I am wondering why the word comment is there? I am used to seeing savoir followed directly by the infinitive.

A Comment re: the Dictée"The format is great – I really like this new feature. One comment about the Level A1 exercise – in the 2nd last sentence, I believe it should read “elle invite des amis pour la goûter” - la referring to la tarte. A nice new feature. Thanks!"
