Kenya Airways (KQ) urges the release of two employees detained by a Congolese military unit, DEMIAP, since April 19 in Kinshasa. Allegedly arrested over missing custom documentation for cargo, promises of release went unmet despite a military court’s assurance. The incident sparks concerns over diplomatic relations between Kenya and the DRC. KQ CEO Allan Kilavuka clarifies the cargo was never accepted due to incomplete documentation. Despite explanations, the employees remain detained, inaccessible until embassy officials intervened. While a military tribunal ordered their release, they are still held incommunicado. DEMIAP has not responded to queries. Established in 1977, KQ serves 45 global destinations, emphasizing Africa.
