Peacekeeping – MONUC

One Indian peacekeeper checking AK47 magazines in the Beni Wharehouse, where all weapons and ammunition are stored.
One of North Kivu mobile team in Matembo, 5 kms out of Beni, during demobilisation process. The team is made up of SMI ( Structure militaire d’integration), CONADER, and MONUC. CONADER deals with demobilisation and reintegration. Either military must go through “brassage center ” to join FARDC or they go through demobilisation and join civil life. They must all surrender their weapons . MONUC acts essentially as an observer. In BENI IndBatt 2/V counts the men and number of weapons and help with transport of those weapons to the warehouse or with infrastructures like providing tents.
