Human Rights NGO Warns of Deteriorating Mbau-Kamango-Nobili Road

Action pour les droits de l'homme (ADH), an NGO based in Beni territory, has warned that the roughly 80-kilometre Mbau-Kamango-Nobili road is severely deteriorated and several bridges are in poor condition, with some dating back to the colonial era. ADH coordinator David Muwaze reported growing mud pits and ravines, and raised concerns about bridges over the Butakila, Semuliki, Makoyoba, Abyalose and Mamundioma rivers. The organization urged the road maintenance contractor and provincial authorities to take urgent steps to maintain the route and rehabilitate the most damaged structures. The contractor blamed delays on insecurity linked to ADF attacks but said machinery is already on site to continue maintenance and rehabilitation work.
