Congolese soldiers repatriated from Mobaye

    NAIROBI

    Meanwhile, almost all the Congolese soldiers who fled into the Mobaye area from the DRC in July have been repatriated to Kinshasa by CAR and Congolese authorities, Adeniji said. The departure of the soldiers allowed the deployment of MINURCA troops and international observers to Mobaye for Sunday's voting. The presence of thousands of Congolese soldiers and the
    associated insecurity had delayed the fielding of MINURCA troops and monitors to Mobaye, which is one of the CAR's ten designated electoral observation sites. There were now "at most" 200 Congolese soldiers remaining in the area, Adeniji said.
