Eastern Congo Farmers Laud U.N. Peacekeeper Support

Farmers in the conflict-ridden Djugu territory of eastern Congo rely on U.N. peacekeepers for protection as they tend their fields under challenging conditions. Reuters reports that despite criticism of the U.N. mission MONUSCO, displaced farmers near Dhendro village express strong support for its presence. Many seek refuge in camps close to U.N. bases, finding a measure of security amid ongoing violence.
