Kongo-Kinshasas president ber FN-trupper att lämna

Kongo-Kinshasas president Félix Tshisekedi uppmanar de fredsbevarande FN-trupperna att lämna landet redan i december. Det säger han till FN:s generalförsamling.

– Det är dags för vårt land att ta kontroll över vårt öde och bli den huvudsakliga aktören för vår stabilitet, säger han.

Enligt presidenten klarar trupperna inte av att skydda den kongolesiska befolkningen mot våldet från rebellgrupper i östra delen av landet.

The United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or MONUSCO, an acronym based on its French name Mission de l'Organisation des Nations Unies pour la stabilisation en République démocratique du Congo, is a United Nations peacekeeping force in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) which was established by the United Nations Security Council in resolutions 1279 (1999) and 1291 (2000) to monitor the peace process of the Second Congo War, though much of its focus subsequently turned to the Ituri conflict, the Kivu conflict and the Dongo conflict. The mission was known as the United Nations Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo or MONUC, an acronym of its French name Mission de l'Organisation des Nations Unies en République démocratique du Congo, until 2010.
