DRCONGO-TRANSPORT-SAFETY

Traders are seen on the shores of Lake Kivu in Goma on October 21, 2021. - In the north and south of Lake Kivu, in the east of the DRC, as well as on the other lakes and rivers of the immense central African country, there is a daily ballet of wooden boats transporting people and goods, often in defiance of the safety rules known to all shipowners. With the changing weather, violent rains and storms, and waves hitting the hulls of long, overloaded motorboats, shipwrecks are frequent, and the human and material toll is high.
