Militia men head home from the Bunia Demobilization
Camp on March 29, 2005. Story Header: De-mobilization of Militias in
Eastern Congo MONUC (the United Nations Peace Keeping Mission to the Congo)
has given militias in the embattled Eastern Provinces of the DR Congo until
April 1st to turn in their weapons and join the de-mobilization and
re-integration program run by the UNDP (United Nations Development Program).
Although the program had been in effect for months, there had been limited
disarmament. Once the deadline had been set, a flood of militiamen, including
child soldiers, suddenly entered the program.
