The Long-Distance Drivers and Conductors Association of Kenya issued a security advisory warning drivers to delay travel on the Mahagi-Kisangani route in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. The advisory followed reports that six truck drivers were seized by armed rebels in the region. While the drivers were later found unharmed, the incident occurred in areas where armed groups and clashes have heightened risks for commercial transport.
