An escort of Kenyan and Congolese military personnel stands guard at the airport in Goma, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, as former Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta lands on November 15, 2022.
The East African Community Regional Force (EACRF) on Wednesday blamed a breach of ceasefire between Congolese army and armed groups for the death of a Kenyan peacekeeper a day earlier.
The regional mission, to which Kenya contributes troops, confirmed that a Kenyan soldier had been killed by mortar fire following a clash between the Congolese armed forces (FARDC) and the M23 rebel group.
