AFP , Saturday 13 Apr 2013

The United Nation will deploy a peacekeeping brigade of 3,069 troops to end conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo, a move that is seen as first of its kind because of its offensive mandate

Some 3,069 troops will serve in the UN intervention brigade designed to fight armed groups in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, a UN official said Saturday.

The brigade will include "3,069 troops. That's the official number," said Madnodje Mounoubai, spokesperson for the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission, which will incorporate the brigade.
