"The Congo River Basin's only regret is that the shipping ends in Kinshasa, but Kinshasa is currently the only city on the Congo River with potential comparable to Jisan City (Kisangani). However, all of this is based on the premise that the issue of the sea outlet is resolved. Without a sea outlet, Kinshasa is just a dead port, used only by East Africa, with its cargo volume even less important to East Africa than the Ubangi River."
In the original history, it wasn't until 1881 that the colonial explorer Stanley reached Kinshasa, where there were scattered villages and thousands of Black people.
East Africa had seized Kinshasa three years earlier, and currently, Kinshasa's population is barely more than 3,000 people, as East Africa does not count the local Black population.
