Geopolitical Conflict

Congolese conflict risks Zambia–DRC trade ties

Zambia’s regional trade with the Democratic Republic of Congo faces disruption as violence in eastern DRC intensifies.

Citizens First president Harry Kalaba has warned that the ongoing conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which has reportedly claimed over 8,000 lives since January, could severely hurt commercial links between Zambia and the DRC. The fighting between Congolese government forces and the Rwanda‑backed M23 rebels around mineral‑rich eastern regions threatens cross‑border trade via their shared 1,900‑kilometer frontier. Kalaba urged Zambian and regional leaders to intensify diplomatic efforts to de‑escalate the crisis so as to protect both lives and economic flows across the border.
