Kinshasa: A Pakistani UN peacekeeper was martyred by "members of an armed group" in the Democratic Republic of Congo on Saturday, a United Nations spokesman said. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres "condemns the killing of a peacekeeper from Pakistan... following an ambush" in the troubled eastern province of South Kivu, a UN spokesman said. He reaffirmed the UN´s willingness to continue to address the country´s security challenges, despite tensions with the government. MONUSCO, the largest of the UN missions, has been present in the country since 1999. Sprawling, mineral-rich but mired in poverty, DR Congo is in the grip of overlapping political and ethnic crises, and much of the country´s east is in the hands of rival militia groups competing over resources. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/com/YEor/~4/pkhdkmOv3oU أكثر... |
