Le brasseur néerlandais Heineken quitte la République Démocratique du Congo (RDC) en vendant sa participation dans sa filiale congolaise, Bralima. Cette décision intervient suite à l'arrêt des activités de sa brasserie dans l'est du pays, après la prise de contrôle de l'usine de Bukavu par des hommes armés en juin 2025. La transaction concerne les brasseries de Kinshasa, Kisangani et Lubumbashi, employant 731 personnes, qui seront reprises par ELNA Holdings, une société basée à l'île Maurice. Bien qu'Heineken se retire, les marques comme Primus continueront d'être commercialisées grâce à des accords de licence. La situation dans l'est de la RDC, où Heineken employait près d'un millier de personnes, est la principale raison de ce retrait stratégique.
