Kinshasa in tumult as Congo River bursts its banks
The Congo River has burst its banks, causing widespread flooding in DR Congo's capital Kinshasa, with dark, foul-smelling water pouring into homes across working-class neighbourhoods and affecting local businesses in the central African megacity.
Kinshasa is crisscrossed with small rivers and waterways, which often double as open sewers.
Many have now overflown.
