🇨🇩 كينشاسا

Kinshasa is the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and, with an estimated 16 million residents, one of the largest cities in Africa. It lies at about 4 degrees south of the equator, placing it in the Southern Hemisphere within the tropics. The city keeps West Africa Time at UTC+1 and observes no daylight saving, so its clocks remain one hour ahead of Coordinated Universal Time throughout the year. Its near-equatorial position means day and night stay close to equal length across the seasons, and the fixed offset holds a constant relationship to international time without the twice-yearly adjustments made at higher latitudes.
