 I bet she hasn't been in the Congo yet   
On the other hand, some time ago at the HU meeting in the UK a young British woman, Louis Pryce, gave a presentation on her ride from London to Cape Town via the DRC. I wouldn't have the guts to do that
No, seriously, times have changed in Turkey drastically since Mr. Erdogan decided to stop the peace talks with the Kurds last year. In addition to that, since the German recognition of the Armenian genocide has passed parliament, especially Germans are prone to be targets of ill-will when they get into contact with security people in Turkey ..... That's why I recommended to stay clear of ANY security people, no matter whether police, military or whatever. But I don't believe it is more unsafe than travelling in Iran for example.
