The UN stabilization mission (MONUSCO) signed an agreement this Tuesday to withdraw 15,000 peacekeepers from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), after almost two decades.
The agreements were signed by the Congolese Foreign Minister and the head of MONUSCO, reports Africanews.
According to Christophe Lutundula, these documents mark the end of a collaboration “that proved its limits in a context of permanent war, without the much-desired peace being restored in eastern Congo”.
Eastern DRC faces a decades-long conflict waged by dozens of armed groups.
