New York, Jumada I 28, 1436, Mar 19, 2015, SPA -- The United Nations and Congo should work jointly against a group of Rwandan insurgents, a policy that has been rendered impossible because of Congo's insistence on taking unilateral action, warned the UN Thursday, as dpa reprted. Briefing the UN Security Council, Martin Kobler, head of the UN peacekeeping mission to Congo, said that the UN and the Congolese government need to stand united against the armed group Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR). "The greatest threat to peace and security in the Great Lakes Region remains the FDLR," Kobler said. The joint operation became endangered in January, when Congo opted to carry out military action on its own, with the UN providing logistics, fuel and food rations for troops. --SPA 20:10 LOCAL TIME 17:10 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
