DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO: Use of Drones Mooted.

The article discusses the request by the United Nations (UN) peacekeeping chief Herve Ladsous to strengthen its operations in the Democratic Republic (DR) of Congo that included the use of drones. The request for aircraft capable of at least 12h flight endurance initially met resistance from Rwanda stating that it would oppose the use of drones. Experts warned that the use of drones will distract from the actual issues such as the dereliction of Congolese state and foreign military meddling.
