Ofisi ya Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa imesema mashambulizi dhidi ya askari wa kulinda amani wa Umoja wa Mataifa, yanaweza kuwa uhalifu wa kivita baada ya kambi mbili za Umoja wa Mataifa kushambuliwa na waandamanaji Mashariki mwa Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo
Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa António Guterres ametoa wito kwa DRC kuchunguza matukio hayo, ambapo Wafanyakazi watatu wa Umoja wa Mataifa na makumi ya Raia wa DRC wanadaiwa kuuawa

The UN secretary general's office has said any attacks on peacekeepers may constitute a war crime after two UN bases were assaulted in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
A spokesman said António Guterres had called on the Congolese authorities to investigate the incidents, in which three UN personnel and a dozen locals were killed.
The peacekeeping mission - Monusco - blamed the violence and looting of UN property on criminals pretending to be protesters. It said they had seized weapons from Congolese police and opened fire.
There's widespread anger in Congo at Monusco's failure to halt decades of violence by armed groups operating in the mineral-rich east
