Democratic Republic of the Congo: Five Park Rangers Killed
Five killed in operation to rescue kidnapped journalist
Officials have confirmed that five Congolese park rangers have been killed in an operation to rescue a kidnapped US journalist and three other rangers. The group had gone missing on 15 July during an attack in the town of Mambasa in the Okapi wildlife reserve.
Those operating or residing in the DRC are advised to review your personal security plans and remain aware of your surroundings. Exercise caution when travelling in rural areas across the DRC. Kidnappings have increased over the past years in the DRC, particularly in the eastern areas. A Human Rights Watch report last year found that at least 175 people were kidnapped for ransom in eastern Congo in 2015. Exercise caution when travelling in rural areas across the DRC. There is a high threat of violence, kidnap and murder. Contract a private security escort with local experience for the purposes of business-critical travel.
