The Uganda contingent deployed as part of the regional force in Democratic Republic of Congo completed the withdraw of its troops from the violence-plagued North Kivu, Eastern Province on December 14, ahead of next week’s elections and nearly one month to the January 7 deadline that the regional chiefs of defence forces set.
The exit of Uganda troops completes the withdraw of the regional force that included troops from Kenya, Uganda, Burundi and South Sudan, deployed under the East African Community Regional Force (EACRF) in November last year.
