South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa has ordered the deployment of 2,900 soldiers to aid in the fight against armed rebel groups in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. | |
The troops will be posted as part of the southern African mission in DR Congo (SAMIDRC), which was approved by the regional bloc in May last year. | |
Malawi and Tanzania will also contribute troops to the mission. | |
The mission is replacing the East African regional force, which left DR Congo last December after the government deemed it ineffective. | |
The deployment will cost South Africa 2bn Rand ($105m; £83m) and is set to last until December this year, a statement from the presidency said. | |
The announcement comes amid a resurgence of fighting that has seen tens of thousands, added to the nearly seven million who have been forced from their homes in DR Congo because of multiple conflicts. | |
