The Republic of Congo’s military has released two Kenya Airways staffers who were detained for two weeks in a cargo dispute. Kenya’s foreign ministry confirmed the development.
The staffers’ detention had led Kenya Airways to suspend flights to Congo, but the state-owned airline said flights would resume Wednesday.
The airline said it had rejected the cargo because it didn’t have the required documentation.
Congo’s military had arrested the staffers from the airline’s offices in the main airport in the capital, Kinshasa.
A military court granted the airline’s application for their release but the military continued to hold them. Kenya and Congo have cordial relations, with Kenya participating in U.N-backed peacekeeping missions in Congo
