Since last evening we had got rumours of this attack but had not yet got proof!! Here is the full report;
The peacekeepers of the Bangladeshi Monusco contingent based in Bayoo in Djugu territory came under fire from CODECO militiamen on Tuesday, June 23, 2020 in the afternoon.
It was then that they led a patrol in the locality of Gali where 35 of these attackers attacked loyalist FARDC soldiers and the Congolese police.
The UN soldiers who decided to open fire managed to dislodge these rebels from their position by firing multiple shots from their armored vehicles.
A Mission attack helicopter even went into action to dissuade attackers from attacking civilian populations, which has resulted in no reports of loss of life, a source narrated.
Calm has returned to the area which remains under the control of the Congolese army supported by MONUSCO forces.
The peacekeepers are engaged alongside the Congolese soldiers in the sweeping operations against the CODECO militiamen who have been active for 3 years in Djugu territory where they have committed several acts of violence against the civilian population.
