TANZANIAN TROOPS ARRIVE IN EASTERN DR CONGO AS PART OF UN INTERVENTION
BRIGADENew York, May 10 2013 6:00PMA contingent of Tanzanian soldiers
arrived in the eastern city of Goma in the Democratic Republic of the
Congo (DRC) today as part of the intervention brigade authorized by
the United Nations to help neutralize armed groups in this volatile
part of the country.

In March the Security Council authorized the deployment of an
intervention brigade within the existing UN peacekeeping operation in
the country (MONUSCO) to carry out targeted offensive operations, with
or without the Congolese national army, against armed groups that
threaten peace in eastern DRC.

The brigade – which will be based in North Kivu province and total
3,069 peacekeepers – is tasked with neutralizing armed groups,
reducing the threat posed to State authority and civilian security and
make space for stabilization activities.

Madnodje Mounoubai, spokesperson for MONUSCO, said in an interview
with UN-backed Radio Okapi that the soldiers that arrived today bring
to 100 the number of Tanzanian troops that are now on the ground as
part of the brigade.

"Today, a number of Tanzanian soldiers arrived with equipment. From
the evidence we have, about a hundred elements are already in place.
These are officers, members of staff, so those responsible for
planning that have arrived," he said.

He added that the Commander of the brigade, General James Mwakibolwa,
is already in place with certain members of his staff.

The brigade is designed to further support the political objectives of
the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework for the DRC and the
region – a peace deal signed in February in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.May
