Mokolo ya Congo River

The second-longest river in Africa, the deepest river in the world, the lifeblood of the nation. The Congo River connects Kinshasa to Kisangani, the interior to the coast, the past to the present. The Inga Falls, the rapids, the pirogues, the barges. The river is the road, the river is the border, the river is everything.
