Rwandan truckers and exporters are facing challenges due to the conflict in the eastern region of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Rwandan-backed M23 armed group has taken control of the border towns, leading to attacks on drivers and a decline in business. The conflict has disrupted trade between the two countries, with Rwandan businesses losing customers and having to find alternative routes to transport goods. The situation has also impacted the livelihoods of Rwandan truckers, who are now unloading their goods at the border and passing them to other drivers for the DRC leg.
