Things are very bad. I have no idea what Pointe Noire is like but Brazzaville is impossible. Kinshasa is horrible (friends of mine have been stuck for 2 weeks) and Matadi is no better (another group has been stuck for 3 weeks there). It seems that it's getting more difficult by the day. They will make you jump through every hoop imaginable and then there's still no guarantee that you'll get a visa. People are contemplating taking the non-existent road to Lubumbashi instead of waiting around for months. Wish I had better news! Good Luck and enjoy Congo, it's great.
