Kinshasa has asked the UN peacekeeping mission, Monusco, to withdraw spokesman Mathias Gillman over "indelicate and inappropriate remarks" he made in the wake of deadly mass protests in the eastern DRC, in which at least 36 people have died.
Citing recent tensions between the peacekeeping mission and locals, Kinshasa had said: "The government would very much appreciate that action be taken for Mr. Mathias Gillman to leave Congolese territory as soon as possible."
