LoDDCA inasitisha upakiaji shehena za South Sudan kwa sababu ya msongamano Elegu

Chama cha Madaraiva wa Umbali Mrefu na Wakondakta (LoDDCA) kimeamrisha kusitishwa mara moja kwa upakiaji shehena zinazoelekea South Sudan baada ya mpaka wa Elegu kufikia uwezo wake kamili. Amri hii imetokana na msongamano mkubwa na hatari zinazoongezeka kwenye korido ya Nimule-Juba. Madaraiva wanaendelea na mgomo wao wa siku ya sita kutaka usalama bora na kuachiliwa kwa wenzake waliotekwa.

LoDDCA ilitoa taarifa rasmi tarehe 3 Mei 2026, ikisema hali imefikia kiwango cha kuvunjika. "LoDDCA hereby directs: Immediate Suspension: All transporters, clearing agents, and drivers must halt the loading and dispatch of cargo destined for South Sudan until further notice," ilisema chama hicho.

Madaraiva walioko njiani wameagizwa kuegesha Malaba kabla ya kuvuka Uganda au katika maeneo mengine ya kupumzika salama. Hali hii imetokana na mgomo unaoendelea, ambao umeingia siku yake ya sita kutokana na hatari zinazoongezeka kwenye korido ya Nimule-Juba.

Tarehe 2 Mei, LoDDCA iliripoti tukio la hivi karibuni lililomudu madaraiva Mkenya na majeraha makubwa ya kichwa. Hali ilizidi Yirol, ambapo madaraiva 10 wa Kenya walitekwa na kupelekwa mahali pasipojulikana bila mashtaka rasmi au mawasiliano.

Madaraiva wanadai kuachiliwa mara moja kwa wenzao, kufichuliwa mahali walipo, na uchunguzi dhidi ya wahalifu. Wanataka pia doria za usalama zenye nguvu, kuondolewa kwa ada haramu na fidia kwa wahasiriwa. LoDDCA inasema kusitishwa huku kutaimarisha hadi usalama na hali ya kufanya kazi irudishwe.
