| 6. Profile: River Congo |
 By Mark Doyle BBC News The boat disaster on a tributary of the River Congo, in which over 160 people were killed, involved two of the very large ferries that ply the waterways of the region... River rebels It flows from the capital Kinshasa in the west, in a great arc through impenetrable jungle, to the mining city of Kisangani in the east. Boats are the cheapest form of travel in DR Congo The river is so strategically important that for several years, during the Congolese civil war, boats were banned from it because the authorities in Kinshasa thought it could be used by advancing rebels. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3243552.stm |
