DRC/Rwanda: Crossing borders

The UN Peacekeeping Mission to DRC (Monuc) should increase its presence in rebel controlled areas to ensure a greater proportion of children are demobilised with minimum risk, says a Save the Children report that looks at the Disarmament, Demobilisation, Repatriation, Rehabilitation and Reintegration process (DDRRR) of Rwandan boys and girls formerly associated with armed groups in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The report recommends that community members and leaders should be trained on child protection issues.
