5 killed, 50 injured in anti-U.N. protests in east Congo

The UN mission in Congo is failing primarily because its static approach doesn't take into account the structural and multidimensional causes of the conflict. This gives the not entirely unjustified impression that MONUSCO is pouring oil on the fire rather than stabilizing the situation. MONUSCO must work with the government in Kinshasa on long-term solutions. Security sector reform is essential in this situation.
It's primarily the responsibility of the government in Kinshasa to ensure peace, security, and stability in the east of the country, not that of MONUSCO. The government has failed to fulfil this duty, and the recent anti-UN protests are a product of political manipulation.
