Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has proposed a plan with benchmarks that would allow the more than 18,000-strong UN peacekeeping force in Congo to progressively transfer its activities to Congolese authorities.

In a 15-page letter to the UN Security Council obtained Thursday by The Associated Press, the UN chief said the peacekeeping mission and the Congolese government agreed on the broad strategy on Oct. 19 and will continue a dialogue on "the creation of the conditions for a successful, gradual and responsible exit of the mission."

In January 2019, Congo experienced its first peaceful democratic transfer of power since independence in 1960 following the election of President Felix Tshisekedi. He succeeded strongman Joseph Kabila in a disputed election marked by allegations of large-scale fraud and suspicions of a backroom deal by Kabila to install Tshisekedi over an opposition candidate who, according to leaked electoral data, was the real winner.

He said the government agreed that in the eastern provinces where active conflicts persist -- North Kivu, South Kivu and Ituri -- "it is envisaged that in the coming years MONUSCO will gradually consolidate its footprint."

Nature loss means deadlier future pandemics, UN warnsFuture pandemics will happen more often, kill more people and wreak even worse damage to the global economy than COVID-19 without a fundamental shift in how humans treat nature, the United Nations' biodiversity panel said Thursday. This is my reply to the UN, 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕 Only 10.5 years left before the climate apocalypse. Funny how I watched a video over a year ago that predicted this scenario and the totalitarian control that will come with it. The ones that profited the most from this 'emergency' now lead us through it? If they cared they would put their profit back into the environment.
