According to the Agent, the Angolan air fleet will come in support of the measures put in place by the DRC. It consists of transport aircraft and helicopters.

Furthermore, you should know that last Tuesday, the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI) requested logistical support from the Government for the delivery of election materials across the national territory. Following discussions between the two capitals, it was decided to deploy Angolan planes and helicopters in Congolese airspace to drop sensitive electoral materials including: ballots, and the forms on which the minutes of the election results will be written, reports the Congolese Press Agency (ACP).

For his part, the president of the CENI, Denis Kadima Kazadi, has indicated that under normal circumstances, boats and other ordinary means would be used. Everything we are importing today cannot come by sea. It must necessarily come by air, and these are huge costs. And even here in the country, because once these items have arrived, more rapid means are also needed, and he added that it is indeed a race against the clock.

It should be noted that on December 5, Denis Kadima had stated in his letter to the government, to urgently need 4 Antonov 26 and 10 helicopters to be able to deploy the material on time.
