Ituri: three drivers shot dead on RN27, traffic blocked between Bunia and Mahagi

Three drivers of Congolese, Kenyan, and Somali nationalities were shot dead on Tuesday on RN27 in Djugu territory, Ituri, following the discovery of a man believed to be a CODECO fighter’s body. Justin Gudza Kiza, leader of Walendu Djatsi, states that this incident led to reprisals, resulting in the deaths of the three drivers. The blockage of RN27 disrupts goods transportation and leaves passengers stranded in Bunia and Mahagi, posing economic and security concerns.
