The United Nations has warned the March 23 movement (M23) rebels in the volatile eastern Democratic Republic of Congo to disarm.
On Tuesday, the UN Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (MONUSCO) published a statement saying the rebels around the eastern city of Goma should either disarm or face "the use of force."
MONUSCO gave the M23 rebels around Goma until 4:00 pm (2000 GMT) on Thursday "to hand in their weapon to a MONUSCO base," or the peacekeeping mission would use its new mandate against them for the first time.
The statement said after the deadline the rebels would be considered an imminent threat of physical violence to civilians and MONUSCO will take all necessary measures to disarm them, including by the use of force in accordance with its mandate and rules of engagement.
Is just crazy jinsi debate nzima ilivyo turn na kuwa about Kagame,the only way kumaliza hii conflict ni Congolese wenyewe na hakuna shortcut na wasitegemee battle yao ibebwe na MONUSCO au kumlaumu Rwanda kila siku ndio solution.
Ni lini DRC itakja ku stabilize? Kwani machafuko yote ya Congo DRC yanasababishwa na PK? Dawa ni ku deal na root course, maana wenye mbwa wata recruit mbwa wengine baada ya 'mbwa' PK kwenda The Hague.
