According to him, the RN5 is the main route for trade between the territory of Fizi and the neighboring provinces of Tanganyika and Maniema. He adds that this situation is at the root of the insecurity perpetrated by armed groups, who go there with the aim of kidnapping drivers and their crews as well as passengers.

The deterioration of this national road is detrimental to the province's economy and represents a loss of income for carriers. Following the decline of the road, the administrator of the territory of Fizi is requesting an urgent intervention from the central Government and also from the provincial executive.
