Kigali, founded by German colonial rule, in 1907, is the largest city in Rwanda, has been the capital since the nation's independence in 1962.

Kigali is situated near the geographic center of the nation, on a series of ridges, with altitudes rangings from 4,270 ft to 5,246 ft above sea level.

“Beginning on April 6, 1994, Kigali was the scene of the Rwandan Genocide — the slaughter of approximately one million Tutsi and moderate Hutu by Hutu militias (interahamwe), and some members of the Rwandan army — and of fierce fighting between the army (mostly Hutu) and Tutsi-dominated Rwandese Patriotic Front. Although damaged, the city's structure has recovered.” (direct quote from Wikipedia)

Kimberley, Northern Cape, South Africa, is famous for local diamond mines and siege during the Second Boer War. The town started out named New Rush because of the stampede by men rushing to the site of diamond finds. Eventually the site was named for Lord Kimberley, the British Secretary for the State of the Colonies.

Individuals such as Cecil Rhodes made their fortune in Kimberley, and the roots of the De Beers corporation can also be traced to the city.

The Big Hole is the resulting open pit that was dug by miners between 1871 and 1914.

Kinshasa, located on the south bank of the Congo River, is the largest city and capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The city was founded by journalist and explorer Henry Morgan Stanley in 1881 and named Leopoldville in honor of King Leopold II of Belgium (colonial Belgian Congo). In 1966 it was renamed Kinshasa in rememberance of a village that had once been near the site.

The city of Brazzaville, capital of the Republic of the Congo, is directly across the river from Kinshasa on the opposite side of a geological feature called Pool Malebo, a lake-like widening of the Congo River.

FYI ~ Kinshasa was the site of the 1974 “Rumble in the Jungle” boxing match between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman for the World Heavyweight title.
