Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo are struggling to resolve a gridlock that has made the Kasumbalesa border impassable in the past week, hurting trade between the two countries and threatening diplomatic relations.
President Edgar Lungu said last week he would report DRC to the South Africa Development Community (SADC) over congestion at the Kasumbalesa border post in Chililabombwe district.
