A ceremony has taken place to mark the deployment of around 1,000 Kenyan soldiers to a regional peacekeeping force in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Addressing the Kenyan battalion, President William Ruto said armed groups and those he called “terrorists” would not be allowed to hold back the development of the region.

Under an agreement made by the East African Community, the troops are due to help the Congolese army suppress a surge in violence by a rebel group known as M23.

The contingent will be joined by soldiers from Burundi, South Sudan and Uganda.

The peacekeeping force’s first operation will be to-retake the city of Bunagana that was seized by the M23 group in June.
