Mangai

Middle Africa

Mangai is a town in Kwilu Province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It lies on the southern bank of the Kasai River, at an altitude of about 277 metres (912 feet) above sea level. The town is served by Mangui Airport, which gives it an air link in a region where the river is the dominant geographic feature. The reference article is brief and records little about the town's history, population or economy, so this description is limited to its location, elevation and airport.
