Kinshasa "la Belle", this is how Congolese call(ed) their nice city.

This thread is in dedication of "another" Congo, something that I do hope will come back to the country. ORDER AND PEACE!

It shows pictures across the Congo when the economy expanded from the 50´s the late 70´s. The are for comparative reason and analytic historical purpose only.

Excellent thread, Matt. I enjoy your threads of cities which represents the past.

I have some encyclopedias from the 60's and 70's which also has color images of cities. Many African cities (One's that aren't doing so well currently even) depicted during that period appeared quite well and developed and also organized. I even dare say more so than other cities from around the world during that period.

Thanks, Stormshadow!:)

There must have been a reason why Congolese called it "Kinshasa la Belle" (Kinshasa, the beauty)

I will do my best to seek for pics during that period.

THIS AND SEVERAL AFRICAN COUNTRIES WERE REALLY PROMISING BUT WHEN THE COLONISERS LEFT, THAT'S WHEN ALL THE PROBLEMS STARTED DUE TO NEGLECTION. BUT IN CAMEROON, EVERYTHING WAS TAKEN CARE ONLY WHEN BIYA CAME TO POWER, THAT'S WHEN HELL BROKED DOWN.

VERY NICE PICTURES THOUGH KINDA LIKE ANGOLA EXCEPT THAT ANGOLA WAS FAR MORE BEAUTIFULL IN ITS GOOD DAYS

negletion?

Mulema, this picture thread stays clear of political debate!! we already have several destroyed threads here.

Moreover, Congo got independent in 1960 and the pics that I post are only covering 10 years during the colonial period and 20 years after Congo´s independence!

good job .

If all Congolese cities could be brought back to their 1970 state, it would already be a major success.

yo, looking at these pics is really a deep journey into the past. The DRC was always a great country and should return to its old development standard or better than that.

+1

Patriotism, competence and civic moral values on the part of the political leadership: that is what it takes to initiate DRC cities’ revival. Angola is showing the way, although the current regime is far from perfect when it comes to good governance.

I know. Kudos to Angola.

Its sad that we have traitors instead.
