The United Nations Mission for the Stabilization of Congo (Monusco) is already announcing the closure of its office in Kindu (Maniema) this Friday, 18 September 2020 in accordance with its new budget, and as required by the Security Council.
The confirmation is from the head of office of Monusco South Kivu / Maniema, Wednesday, September 16, 2020, to the press after a hearing given to him by the interim Governor of the province.
According to Karna Soro, the closure of this Kindu office is part of the downsizing of this peacekeeping mission in the DRC, announced a few days ago by the United Nations Secretary-General in the DRC.
He justifies this decision because there are no armed groups in 95 % of Maniema province. But he reassures that despite the permanent closure of the said office which will take place on Friday, September 18, 2020, Monusco will continue to work in that province.
This announcement of the closure of the Monusco office in Kindu has worried some people who fear the rise of insecurity in this province by armed groups.
