SANDF soldiers killed in the DRC conflict

Over the past two weeks, 14 South African soldiers have been slain in attacks in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The SANDF troops were killed in the city of Goma defending against invading rebels.

According to The Presidency as part of the UN Organisation Stabilisation Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (MONUSCO) and the Southern African Development Community Mission in the DRC (SAMIDRC), South African soldiers are stationed in the country.

The UN Security Council has strongly denounced the attack and reiterated that attacks on peacekeepers might be considered war crimes as the South African troops were sent to keep peace in the eastern part of Congo DRC.
