Cross-border transporters serving the N1 line north-west of Lubumbashi in the Democratic Republic of the Congo DRC have been alerted to predicted instability starting Monday, January 5.
The Transit Assistance Bureau Transist has said it involves the following locations in particular: Likasi, Fungurume and Kolwezi in the heart of the DRCs copper-mining province of Haut Katanga.
A month ago, the Congolese government passed a law banning artisanal mining. This has led to ongoing protests from miners demanding its reversal, the Bureau said.
