congo watch: photos

Here are some really remarkable photos of Kinshasa today. The streets are unbelievably deserted. It's surreal.

By all accounts things are calming down, although the embassies are advising their nationals not to move until tomorrow. Glad to see that Kinshasa will be returning to normal soon. I'm headed out for the rest of the day and evening - more updates tomorrow. Best of luck to all those who are still stuck in your offices in Gombe!
