Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC):

Recent developments have heightened security risks, particularly in the eastern regions. The
M23 rebel group has reportedly taken control of Goma, the largest city in eastern DRC,
leading to significant instability.

The U.S. Department of State advises reconsidering travel to the DRC due to crime and civil
unrest. Specific regions, including North Kivu and Ituri provinces, are designated as “Do Not
Travel” areas due to armed conflict and kidnapping risks.

Republic of the Congo:

The security situation is comparatively more stable. The U.S. Department of State
recommends exercising increased caution due to crime. Violent crime, such as armed robbery
and assault, remains a concern throughout the country.

Recommendations:

• Stay Informed: Regularly consult official travel advisories from your government and
international organizations.

• Assess Necessity: Carefully evaluate the necessity of travel, especially to high-risk areas.

• Precautions: If travel is essential, take appropriate security measures and remain vigilant at
all times.

Given the dynamic nature of the situation, it’s crucial to stay updated with the latest
information before making travel decisions.
