Two dead after protesters clash with local security forces in the Democratic Republic of Congo during demonstrations against UN peacekeepers
United Nation peacekeepers are seen at the UN civil base in Beni in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo on November 26, 2019.
The toll of two dead was confirmed by a spokesman in Kinshasa for the UN peacekeeping mission MONUSCO.The region has been plagued for more than two decades by the Allied Democratic Forces , a shadowy militia that has its historical roots among Ugandan conservatives opposed to Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni.
After eight more civilians were killed in Beni late Sunday, crowds took to the streets, angered at the perceived failures by the Congolese authorities and UN to quell the ADF."There were four deaths during the day," Ngoma late Monday said. "Ten civilians were wounded and three Congolese military were also hurt."
