The United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has called for swift action to bring to justice the perpetrators of Sunday's deadly attack against the United Nations peacekeeping mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), pledging continued support in the battle against rebel forces.
One peacekeeper from Malawi was killed and another wounded during a heavy exchange of fire when the Ugandan rebel Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) attacked a base of the UN Organization Stabilization Mission in DRC (MONUSCO) in Makembi in North Kivu province, in the east of the vast country.
Four national Congolese soldiers and a number of civilians were also killed in two other ADF attacks in the area, raising concerns that the military outfit whose leader Jamil Mukulu was recently captured and tried in Ugandan courts, remains a bg regional security threat.
Mukulu, who oversaw ADF's operations, is in detention at a Ugandan counter terrorism facility in Jinja.
It was thought that heavy bombardments of ADF bases, killing of combatants and capture of their supreme leader had marked the downfall of the group.
