The UN Stabilization Mission (MONUSCO) in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has fully withdrawn from South Kivu, ending the first phase of disengagement following the request to pull out altogether from the Government in Kinshasa.
MONUSCO’s operations began winding down in January, but its Head, Bintou Keita, says there should not be a rush to further disengagement since this process has thrown up unexpected challenges.
Given this, phase two for withdrawing from North Kivu will be handled differently, she told UN News’s Jerome Bernard.
