The UN Security Council unanimously approved support for the “SAMIERC” mission deployed in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo to provide technical and logistical support to combat armed groups.
This decision was made with the aim of enhancing coordination and information exchange between international peacekeeping forces and the mission, which is managed by the Southern African Development Community.
The Council welcomed the ceasefire agreement signed on July 30 between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, calling for the achievement of a lasting peace between the two parties.
This agreement represents an important step towards calming the ongoing conflict in the region, which has suffered from violence for more than three decades.
The “SAMIERC” mission, which is present in North Kivu province, has assisted government forces in combating the “March 23” rebels, a local rebel group.
The deployment of this mission came after the end of the East African Community mission, which was criticized by the Democratic Republic of Congo’s government for supporting the rebels instead of fighting them.
The eastern region of Congo, rich in natural resources, has witnessed ongoing conflicts due to the activity of local and foreign armed groups.
The UN continues to reduce its peacekeeping presence, recently ending its presence in South Kivu in June, placing more responsibility on missions like “SAMERC” to ensure stability in the region.
