Protesters storm UN base in eastern DR Congo city

[Fulcrum29]

Seems they don't want peace?

I say let them have what they want then..

Perspective. The DRC government has long advocated to have the peacekeepers reduced due to some instabilities caused by the deployment within the political context. MONUSCO has also struggled to uphold its mandate which is a read on its own.

Many people are in the view that MONUSCO is there to protect an installed government.

Anyway, a UN deployment to the DRC requires a balance, but that balance hasn’t been achieved hence one side outweighing the other only urges on the instabilities.

The SADC has the same troubles with their deployment to Mozambique.

Bigger nations call this world order, but which is also in the balance where one side could tug and pull too strong.

UN peacekeepers in deadly shooting in eastern DR Congo​

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said he was "outraged" by the deaths Sunday of two people when peacekeepers opened fire at a border post with Uganda in the troubled eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.

Guterres "stresses in the strongest terms the need to establish accountability for these events" and endorses "the detention of military personnel involved in this incident and the immediate investigation," a statement from the secretary-general's deputy spokesman, Farhan Haq, said.

In a video of the incident shared on social networks, men, at least one dressed as a police officer and another as a Congolese soldier, are seen advancing toward the convoy stopped on the other side of the closed fence in Kasindi, in the territory of Beni, on the border with Uganda.

The incident is likely to fuel more anger against the peacekeepers who have been accused of failing to protect civilians against armed groups
