FARDC calls for increased international action against armed groups and to prevent their access to modern military equipment
While the security situation in the east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo continues to be characterized by ongoing military operations against armed groups, particularly the AFC/M23 rebels, and diplomatic efforts that have yet to yield concrete results on the ground, the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (FARDC) have reaffirmed their commitment to carrying out their mission to protect the country's territorial integrity and civilian population. They have also appealed to the international community regarding the ongoing instability in this part of the country.
