Ugandan authorities reopened these borders without informing Kinshasa beforehand, raising concerns within the DRC government.

Speaking from Kampala journalist Mike Arereng, explained that this action has stirred diplomatic tensions between the two neighbours. Kinshasa is seeking explanations from Uganda regarding the decision to reopen the borders without prior consultation.

These border points in eastern DRC have long been sensitive areas, with past disputes often focusing on security and trade.
