The African Union strongly condemned protesters’ attacks on UN peacekeeping bases in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
Demonstrators in the country demand the departure of the United Nations Mission in Congo (Monusco).
At least sixteen civilians and at least three peacekeepers died in the protest.
The AU Commission Chairperson, Moussa Faki Mahamat, called for an immediate end to the violence by the local population and by all armed groups.
He urged Congolese authorities to help restore calm in the region.
The UN has denied opening fire on the demonstrators. It says a local militia has joined the protests, the BBC reported.
