All members of the peacekeeping mission will leave the country by the end of 2024. Head of Mission Binto Keita announced this yesterday, Saturday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #252525; text-align: justify;\">According to Al Jazeera, the UN peacekeeping mission in the Congo is known as MONUSCO. Binto Keita, the head of this UN mission, said in a media briefing in the Congolese capital Kinshasa on Saturday, &#8220;MONUSCO will definitely leave the Democratic Republic of the Congo at the end of 2024 after the presence of the last 25 years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #252525; text-align: justify;\">Elections were recently held in the Congo. The Congolese government was re-elected in this controversial vote. The government later called for the UN mission to withdraw. Soon after came the announcement of the withdrawal from the Congo by MONUSCO.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #252525; text-align: justify;\">Numerous armed groups, including the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) and M23, are active in the restive eastern regions of the country, such as North Kivu, South Kivu, and Ituri provinces. Civilians in these areas have also experienced widespread violence and displacement. The United Nations peacekeeping mission had been fighting against these armed groups for more than 20 years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #252525; text-align: justify;\">The Army will be withdrawn in three phases. Keita said that in the first phase, about 2,000 UN troops will leave South Kivu by the end of April. This will reduce the current 13,500-strong MONUSCO force to 11,500. Congolese security forces will take over 14 UN bases in South Kivu. After that, MONUSCO forces will also leave North Kivu and Ituri provinces.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #252525; text-align: justify;\">Congolese Foreign Minister Christophe Lutundula confirmed at a press conference in the capital, Kinshasa, that the remaining UN forces are expected to leave the country by December 31.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #252525; text-align: justify;\">The foreign minister said, &#8220;Withdrawal of Manusco does not mean that the fight we are fighting for the sake of our country will end.&#8221; Rather, our struggle will continue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #252525; text-align: justify;\">MONUSCO began working to help alleviate insecurity in the DR Congo in 2010, but the presence of UN peacekeepers in the country has become increasingly unpopular in recent years. Since 2022, the MONUSCO mission has faced protests from the country&#8217;s citizens. Protesters charge that peacekeepers have failed to protect civilians against years of militia violence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #252525; text-align: justify;\">The Congolese government also ordered an East African regional force to leave the country for the same reason as the UN peacekeeping mission. The force was deployed last year to help fight insurgents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>International Desk: The United Nations is wrapping up the peacekeeping mission from the Central African country of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo).
