Are the Yellala Falls considered part of or separate from Livingstone Falls?

It seems to depend on the source. It is common to call the whole stretch from Kinshasa to Matadi the Livingstone falls, but some call that the Lower Congo and say the Livingstone Falls are only the first set, just below the pool. This article cites sources with both views.
