Democratic Republic of Congo
And an update on the Democratic Republic of Congo: MONUSCO, our peacekeeping mission there, said the situation remained tense in the Beni region of North Kivu as part of the 39, a joint operation between the Mission and the Congolese army against the ADF. [Allied Democratic Forces] keep on going. In addition to these operations, peacekeepers continue to provide escorts to Ebola health workers. For her part, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Leila Zerrougui, was in Beni today to pay tribute to the peacekeepers killed earlier this month. She also visited the wounded and reiterated her support for all troops based in this part of the country. She met the Malawian peacekeeper who was rescued over the weekend. He had disappeared since November 14, following the launch of the joint operation. The Mission continues to make efforts to locate the remaining three missing peacekeepers from Malawi.
