The government of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) welcomed the United Nations’ most recent peacekeeping initiative: surveillance drones in eastern DRC. According to the UN, deployment of drones will advance monitoring DRC’s volatile border with Rwanda and Uganda, which has been a hub for rebel groups. UN Security Council was asked by the peacekeeping department to back the use of surveillance drones after M23 rebels took over the key provincial capital of Goma in 2012.
