A return to peace and dignity: MONUSCO's DDR&S Section supports foreign ex-combatants

Between January and October 2025, 44 ex-combatants—mainly members of the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR)—and 54 of their dependents (98 people in total) were repatriated to their country of origin safely and with dignity.

At the beginning of the week, a series of conferences was held in Goma, Beni, and Bunia to mark the 25th anniversary of Resolution 1325.

Adopted in October 2000, Security Council Resolution 1325 emphasizes the disproportionate impact of armed conflict on women and girls, as well as the need for their participation in peace processes.
