DR Congo: “UN is wrong to withdraw”

Democratic Republic of Congo’s information minister, Lambert Mende Omalanga says the UN is wrong to withdraw backing from government troops fighting rebels in DRC. Mr. Omalanga said he knew nothing about the alleged killing of 62 civilians by the army, which is the reason the UN gave for its move, writes BBC. Human rights groups have long accused soldiers of raping and killing civilians and the UN of complicity.
