UN to launch reconnaissance flights to support eastern Congo ceasefire

AFCM23 captured Uvira in December and withdrew a week later under pressure from the United States. Congo’s army moved back into the town last month. Congo and the rebels agreed last week to activate a Qatari-mediated ceasefire monitoring mechanism, part of a broader framework negotiated in Doha to halt fighting. The acting head of the UN peacekeeping mission, MONUSCO, Vivian van de Perre, told reporters that the first aerial reconnaissance mission to Uvira will take place “in the coming days”. Any UN deployment to support the ceasefire will be rolled out progressively and only once security guarantees are in place to protect UN personnel and equipment, she said. 🔗 Leggi su Internazionale.it
