public security

The security situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo is poor, with frequent theft and fraud, and sometimes vicious cases such as robbery and murder. The government's investment in public security is insufficient, and its ability to maintain public security is limited, resulting in a low detection rate. Soldiers are allowed to bring firearms home and walk freely on the streets, which is a major safety hazard.

Remember to take safety precautions when traveling and avoid provoking homeless children. During driving, be sure to lock the car doors and windows to prevent pedestrians from colluding to cheat (such as one person attracting the driver's attention while others open the car door to grab things). Avoid going out alone at night, and it is best to drive and park your car in a safe location when going out. Properly keep passports and other identity documents, as well as various types of tickets and money, preferably kept separately. It is best to carry an emergency phone number with you and use relevant copies of your passport and other identification documents when presenting them to avoid being extorted or detained by illegal inspectors.

Illegal armed groups in provinces such as Itou, North Kivu, and South Kivu in northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo frequently carry out heinous cases such as terrorist attacks and hostage taking. The government of Congo has been implementing martial law in North Kivu Province and the province of Ito since April 30, 2021. In October 2023, the government of Congo announced the gradual relaxation of martial law, but the local security situation remains complex and severe, with frequent vicious cases. The security situation in other regions is also not optimistic, with frequent incidents of theft and robbery involving Chinese citizens.

natural disaster

Congo (Kinshasa) is located in the tropics and has no major natural disasters. During the rainy season, a small number of low-lying areas are flooded. Several volcanoes in the eastern region have been in an active stage, among which the Nyamulagira volcano and the Nyiragongo volcano located in North Kivu province are the more active and dangerous active volcanoes in Africa. The Nyiragongo volcano erupted on a large scale in 2002, leaving 500000 people homeless. The Nyamuragila volcano erupted in 2010 without causing significant casualties. On May 22, 2021, the Nyiragongo volcano erupted again on a large scale, causing 450000 people to be displaced. In May 2023, floods occurred in areas such as Kalemie in South Kivu province, resulting in over 1000 deaths.

FDA

Most of the food and cold storage products sold in supermarkets are imported and have undergone health quarantine, meeting hygiene standards.

At the agricultural market, it is recommended to focus on purchasing seasonal vegetables and fresh fruits, and avoid buying perishable products such as cooked food, meat, seafood, etc.

air traffic

1、 Main airports and flight conditions

The Democratic Republic of Congo has regular flights with Brussels, Paris, Johannesburg, Addis Ababa, Nairobi, Istanbul, Kigali, Casablanca, and others. The main international airports include Kinshasa, Lubumbashi, Bukavu, Goma, and Kinshasa.

There is no direct flight with China just now. Some foreign airlines have just started shipping business. The main direct flights are Air France, Brussels Airlines, Ethiopian Airlines, Kenya Airlines and Türkiye Airlines.

The flight routes, flights, and schedules of each airline may vary depending on the season, and the latest information published by each airline shall prevail.

The air transportation industry plays an extremely important role in the domestic transportation system of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Due to the lack of roads, railways, or waterways connecting provincial capitals, land transportation is not smooth, and airplanes are the only means of transportation. However, due to a lack of maintenance and updates, most aviation infrastructure and aircraft are severely aging. The quality of domestic flight services, flight punctuality, and safety are poor, and air accidents occur frequently. Its international flights are operated by foreign airlines, ensuring relatively high safety.

2、 Main modes of transportation to and from the airport

The Capital Jinsha Enjili International Airport is located 35 kilometers from the outskirts of the city, with no highways connecting to the city. Only one highway leads to the city, passing through poverty-stricken areas and causing traffic congestion. Taxis and transportation buses operated outside the airport are parked at the airport exit.

land transport

The Democratic Republic of Congo does not have a complete road network throughout the country, and road transportation is very backward. Due to years of war and lack of necessary maintenance, the vast majority of roads have been severely damaged, and many secondary and rural roads have been decommissioned.

Due to years of disrepair, most railways are paralyzed, and currently only the Kinshasa Matadi section is still in use, but with slow speed, limited capacity, and poor safety.

Vehicles in the Democratic Republic of Congo drive on the left and drive on the right. Chinese citizens are required to apply for or renew their local driver's license when driving. The traffic in the city is congested, and most roads lack signal signs. When driving or crossing the road, one must pay attention to safety.

water communication

The main international ports are Matadi and Boma in the province of Central Kongo, with regular ocean routes to West Africa, Mediterranean countries, as well as France, Northern Europe, the United States, Japan and other countries. Matadi is 350 kilometers away from Kinshasa, and as this section of the Congo River is not navigable, goods can only be transported by road or rail for transit. Therefore, transportation in this section is difficult and expensive.

The total length of Congo's inland rivers is 23000 kilometers, of which 14000 kilometers are navigable and have 40 docks. Inland transportation is the main mode of transportation in mainland provinces, and coastal residents mainly rely on inland waterway transportation for travel. Inland waterway transportation mainly relies on barges, without fixed flights, and there are serious problems of mixed loading and overloading of people, livestock, and cargo. In addition, barges lack maintenance and the weather is unpredictable during the rainy season, which poses serious safety hazards and leads to frequent shipwrecks.

The Kinshasa International Shipping Terminal leads to Brazzaville, the capital of Congo (Brazzaville).

Urban transportation

The main transportation in the city includes buses operated by the National Transportation Company, as well as buses operated by locals, yellow taxis, and "black motorcycles". Buses and taxis often carpool, and renting them separately is more expensive. "Black motorcycles" are cheaper but have poor safety, so it is not recommended to take them.

major city

The main cities in the Democratic Republic of Congo include the capital Kinshasa, the capital of Upper Katanga Province Lubumbashi, the capital of Lualaba Province Kolwezi, the capital of Jobo Province Kinshasa, the capital of North Kivu Province Goma, the capital of South Kivu Province Bukavu, the capital of Maniema Province Kindu, the capital of Equateur Province Mbandaka, the capital of Central Kasai Province Kananga, the capital of Eastern Kasai Province Mbuji Mayi, and the capital of Central Kongo Province Matadi.

The capital Kinshasa is the political, economic, and cultural center of the country. Lubumbashi and Kolwezi are the second and third largest cities respectively, and are mining hubs. Goma, Bukavu, and other important border cities. Matadi is an important port city. Most Chinese expatriates reside in the Kinshasa, Lubumbashi, and Kolwezi regions, mainly engaged in commerce, medicine, engineering contracting, and mining industries.

4、 Banks and financial institutions

The Banque Centrale du Congo undertakes the responsibilities of the national central bank, responsible for drafting and implementing monetary policies, managing foreign exchange reserves, setting exchange rates, and issuing currency. Their loan recipients are all state institutions, and they rarely issue loans to the private sector. Local financial institutions and foreign-funded enterprises mainly focus on storage and exchange services in newly established branches, with less loan business. In May 2019, the central bank of Congo approved the launch of RMB settlement business in Congo. In the same month, RAWBANK Bank began offering services such as opening RMB accounts, cash exchange deposits and withdrawals, and overseas remittances.

In recent years, a few local commercial banks have attempted to issue credit cards, but they have not yet become popular. International credit cards can be used in a few places such as larger hotels in the local area. Cheques and traveler's checks issued by Bank of China cannot be used locally.

5、 Special Reminder

Many banks in the Democratic Republic of Congo have limited strength and may encounter difficulties in cash out, transfer, or bankruptcy. It is advisable to choose large banks with strong capabilities to conduct business.
