Jour de la Pool Malebo

El ensanchamiento del río Congo donde Brazzaville y Kinshasa se encuentran frente a frente a través del agua. Pool Stanley para los colonizadores, Pool Malebo para todos los que realmente viven aquí. Los pescadores lanzan sus redes al amanecer, las barcazas transportan mercancías río arriba, y en las noches despejadas se pueden ver las luces de Kinshasa centelleando al otro lado. Dos capitales nacionales, un río, treinta minutos en ferry y un mundo de rivalidad.
