Before kinshasa used to be called "Kinshasa La Belle" meaning "Beautiful Kinshasa". Kinshasa suffered greatly due to mass corruption, nepotism and the civil war that led to his downfall. Nevertheless, it is still a major cultural and intellectual center in the great lakes. Contrary to what many are saying about kin. I can tell u that "slowly and surely, Kinshasa is regaining its Beauty since 2003, The year wich marked the end of the war wich oposed the gouvernement against rebels backed by Rwandeses and Ugandeses troops.
