	Kasai - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		'KASAI, or Cassai, a river of Africa, the chief southern affluent of the Congo.
		Near its mouth the Kasai, in its lower course generally a broad stream strewn with islands, is narrowed to about half a mile on passing through a gap in the inner line of the West African highlands, by the cutting of which the old lake of the Kasai basin must have been drained.
		Cameron and Paul Pogge crossed the upper Kasai in the early "seventies." The Kwa mouth was seen by H. Stanley in his journey down the Congo in 1877, and he rightly regarded it as the outlet of the Kwango, though not surmising it was also the outlet of the Kasai.

		The middle Congo is characterized by the narrowing of the river.
		It is the effect of rainfall throughout the regions (whose rivers and tributaries contribute to the Congo River) that influence the fluctuations in the flow of the river.
		One of the strange ironies of the river's relative cleanliness is the fact that political strife and corruption have stunted development in both Congos for decades, with successive regimes placing little emphasis on building industries which would boost the nations' economies, and, paradoxically, cause greater pollution of the river.

		The Kasai River was quite wide but the navigation channel was near the shoreline, and so we had an excellent view of the jungle and the villages as the boat moved along.
		The Africans lined the railings and laughed at the angry river being conquered by their little boat, and they laughed that they were going upstream against the might of the current, without the effort of paddling a pirogue.
