    NAIROBI

    The UN Observer Mission to the DRC (MONUC) last week conducted
    reconnaissance missions to Kindu, Isiro and Gemena to determine the security situation on the ground, UN officials told IRIN on Thursday.
    MONUC is understood to be still awaiting authorisation from the rebel Rassemblement congolais pour la democratie (RCD) for the deployment of military liaison officers (MLOs) in Kindu, South Kivu province, where they were scheduled to deploy by 17 December. It is also proposed to have MLO teams deployed in Gemena (Equateur province) and Isiro (Orientale) - as
    well as at Lubumbashi in Katanga - by 30 December.
