The government has announced plans to evacuate Kenyans living in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) following the ongoing conflict in the country.
Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi, on Thursday, February 20, urged Kenyans in the central African state to remain cautious and, if possible, relocate to safer regions.
Kenyans seeking evacuation from the war-torn country were advised to contact Kenya's consulate in Goma or visit its temporary offices in Congo Brazzaville.
According to Mudavadi, the conflict between the DRC security forces and militant groups led by M23, which began in the eastern part of the country on the Rwandan border, appears to be spreading rapidly, posing immense danger to many.
