United Nations peacekeepers from India drive their vehicle past Congolese residents of the city outside the United Mission for the Democratic Republic of Congo (MONUC) in Goma on November 21, 2008. The Democratic Republic of Congo today demanded a stronger mandate for UN peacekeepers in the east of the vast country after the UN Security Council approved an additional 3,000 troops. There are now 17,000 troops from 18 nations, including 4,000 from India, in MONUC, making it the biggest UN peacekeeping operation in the world. The peacekeeping force has been criticised for failing to protect 250,000 people displaced by the fighting, amid atrocities by both the rebels and government forces.
