UN agrees to Congo troop increase

Category: Congo War
Posted on: November 20, 2008 9:02 PM, by Greg Laden

The United Nations Security Council has voted to send 3,000 more troops to the Democratic Republic of Congo following renewed fighting in the country's east.

The increase means the peacekeeping mission, Monuc, will have about 20,000 troops and police on the ground - the biggest UN force of its kind.

Hardly the troop surge that's needed but at least it's planting the concept of committing troops in the minds of the security council.
