UN PEACEKEEPERS IN DR CONGO ON ALERT AFTER CLASHES BETWEEN GOVERNMENT,
ARMED MENNew York, Dec 30 2013 4:00PMUnited Nations peacekeepers in
the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) are on alert today amid
ongoing clashes between Government forces and unidentified armed men,
according to a spokesperson.

The UN Mission in the country, known by its French acronym MONUSCO,
reported that its troops engaged the fighters and were able to restore
calm in Lubumbashi, a major city in the southeast, and Kindu, in the
east, UN spokesperson Martin Nesirky told journalists in New York.

"The identity and motivation of the assailants remains unclear at this
stage," Mr. Nesirky stressed.

He added that a national staff member at MONUSCO was injured in the
shooting at the airport but is in stable condition.

There are also reports of fighting in the capital, Kinshasa, which
media reports have linked the violence to a failed coup attempt.

In recent days, UN peacekeepers in the eastern part of the country
helped national armed forces retake control of a town following an
attack by a Ugandan rebel group that left dozens dead and displaced
many more.

In the early hours of Wednesday, the Allied Democratic Forces-National
Army for the Liberation of Uganda (ADF-Nalu) attacked positions of the
Congolese national armed forces (FARDC) in the town of Kamango burning
homes and abducting dozens of people.

In accordance with its mandate to protect civilians, MONUSCO supported
the FARDC during the operation against the rebel group, including
through the use of its attack helicopter, the provision of logistical
support and medical evacuations.

In March, the Security Council authorized the deployment of an
intervention brigade within MONUSCO to carry out targeted offensive
operations, with or without the Congolese national army, against armed
groups that threaten peace in eastern DRC.Dec 30 2013 4:00PM
