DRC instability will impact transport industry

Transport operators and shippers serving the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) have been warned that the country could become more unstable. “History is repeating itself in the east of the DRC. There is a risk of serious escalation of violence,” Louis Arbour, president and chief executive officer of the International Crisis Group, said recently. The warning is backed by the Chinese government which has urged Chinese enterprises and citizens in the DRC to step up security precautions.
