This brought tears to my eyes. wow things have gotten bad. I am originally from Kinshasa and resides in the USA for 10 years now. I am planning a trip home and honestly, I am scared ...how bad it is now is just sad!!
hi, oh those pictures bring back good memories ! i was there until 1986 where i attended middle school at the Pspl belgian school, then we left Zaire. actually we lived next to the sozacom building which is being built in your photo's; the Marché des voleurs was about 300 meters from our home. on front of us was the american embassy marines club. after school, we frequently went to the élais swimming pool. i wonder if it's still open now. i guess not;

But believe 007 ... its way "different" now...
Wow! It looked like heaven.
