UNITED NATIONS, Sept. 18 (Xinhua) -- UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Monday condemned the killing of a Tanzanian peacekeeper serving in the UN mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
The secretary-general urged the authorities of the DRC to swiftly investigate this incident and bring the perpetrators to justice, said Guterres's spokesman Stephane Dujarric in a statement.
Guterres called on all armed groups in the DRC to stop violence and to avoid a further deterioration of the security situation in the country.
The Tanzanian soldier was killed on Sunday in a clash with suspected members of an armed group, the Allied Democratic Forces, in Mamundioma in North Kivu province. Another peacekeeper was injured.
