Recently, the security situation in South Kivu province in eastern Congo continued to deteriorate. Since August, there have been many military clashes in Kaleh, Kabare, Walungu, Fiji, Minembwe and other places in the province. On August 21, fierce exchanges of fire broke out around Lentukulu in the Walungu region, causing local casualties and property damage. There are frequent fighting in the regions concerned, and the situation is complex and changing. There are serious security risks such as stray bombs, shelling, drone attacks, road blockages, communication interruptions, and civilians being held hostage. The Embassy in the Congo once again reminds Chinese citizens and enterprises in the Democratic Republic of the Congo that they must pay great attention to the current situation, never go to South Kivu, North Kivu, Ituri, Haut-Uele and other provinces, nor cross the border from Rwanda, Uganda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia, Central Africa and other countries to these regions. Chinese citizens and enterprises still residing in the eastern part of the Congo should be evacuated as soon as possible.
