UN Official Urges Peacekeepers To ‘Responsibly” Withdraw From DR Congo

During a visit to the DRC, the UN official stated that the Congolese state should intensify its own response to the armed groups that afflict the east of the nation. He was speaking in Kinshasa, the capital.

UN Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations Jean-Pierre Lacroix cautioned the Congolese government to step up its own reaction against armed groups in order to avoid creating a “security void that would be fatal” while speaking to media in the country’s capital Kinshasa.
