The United Nations Stabilisation Mission in Congo (Monusco) has said it supports the joint Uganda-DR Congo military operation against the Allied Democratic Forces, the Ugandan-born terror group that has targeted both countries lately.
But officials of Monusco, whose mandate was extended for a year this week, say they want to establish modalities of cooperation to ensure both civilians and peacekeepers are not harmed in the operations.
