Chinese Peacekeepers Leave Democratic Republic of Congo After Nearly 21 Years
In late February, the UN mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), MONUSCO, began its withdrawal from the country. The first of its bases in the DRC South Kivu province was officially handed over to authorities. The mission, deployed in the eastern DRC since 2010, was asked by the DRC government to leave due to "ineffectiveness".
