UN 'BLUE HELMETS' IN DR CONGO ON STANDBY AFTER BLAST IN ARMS DEPOT
New York, Jan 25 2014 6:00PM
The United Nations peacekeeping mission in the Democratic Republic of
the Congo (DRC) is standing by to support local authorities following
an explosion at an ammunition depot.

The blast occurred on Friday when a lightning strike apparently
sparked a fire in a military barrack in Mbuji Mayi, one of the DRC's
largest cities.

"Over 20 people died, more than 50 were injured and many houses
destroyed by the blast, causing desolation in the city," according to
today's < "http://monusco.unmissions.org/Default.aspx?tabid=11469&language=en-US">statement
from the UN peacekeeping mission known by its French acronym, MONUSCO.

MONUSCO head and Special Representative of the Secretary-General,
Martin Kobler, expressed his deep sadness by the loss of lives and
extended his condolences to the families who lost loved ones.

"I wish a speedy recovery to all the injured," he said, adding "I have
instructed our office in Mbuji Mayi to stand by and support local
authorities in dealing with the situation".

One of the main objectives of MONUSCO peacekeepers, also known as
"blue helmets", as mandated by the Security Council, is to assist the
Government in protecting civilians in the country.

In a < "https://www.un.org/apps/news/newsmakers.asp?NewsID=101">Newsmaker
interview with the UN News Centre earlier this month, Mr. Kobler
stressed the importance of a political solution to addressing the
underlying causes of violence in the DRC and the overall Great Lakes
region.

"The region of the Great Lakes has to integrate more economically
above all for the benefit of all populations in the different
countries," he said. "Everybody has to be convinced that stability,
economic integration, regional political integration,
confidence-building between the States -- this is the right way to go
in the long-term."
