“Over the last 18 months, Democratic Republic of Congo - TopicsExpress



          

“Over the last 18 months, Democratic Republic of Congo government troops have been fighting a rebel group called the M-23. The rebels were encroaching deeper into the country, and had already taken over the city of Goma. Meanwhile, the U.N.s peacekeepers were powerless to intervene – they had no mandate to engage. “All that changed in March, when the United Nations gave a 3,000 strong force the green light to attack. The balance of the fight shifted, and this week, the rebels surrendered. Could this be a broader turning point? Could the success in Congo be replicated elsewhere?” globalpublicsquare.blogs.cnn/2013/11/11/the-changing-role-of-u-n-forces/
