UN to restore military cooperation in DR Congo

UNITED NATIONS, United States, (APP/AFP): The United
Nations will soon restore military cooperation with the Democratic Republic of Congo to help the army fight rebels in the east, a senior UN official said Wednesday.
The UN peacekeeping mission in the DR Congo withdrew its support to
the army’s campaign in February 2015 to protest the appointment of two generals to lead the offensive who are on a UN list of human rights violators.
“We will be in the next few days in a position to resume all the
support we give to the FARDC,” the Congolese army, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
