Peacekeeper killed in CAR
A peacekeeper from the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) was killed and three others were injured on Saturday in an attack by suspected rebels in the southeast of the country. The attack took place near the town of Bambari, where MINUSCA forces are deployed to protect civilians and support the peace process. The rebels are believed to be members of the Union for Peace in the Central African Republic (UPC), a predominantly Muslim rebel group that has been fighting against the government since 2013.
Gaza and DR Congo latest
In Gaza, Israeli forces killed two Palestinian teenagers and injured several others during clashes on Friday. The clashes erupted after Israeli forces raided the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem, one of the holiest sites in Islam. The Palestinian Health Ministry said that the two teenagers were shot dead by Israeli forces, while dozens of others were injured by rubber bullets and tear gas. The Israeli military said that its forces used live ammunition after they were attacked by Palestinian stone-throwers.
In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo), at least 30 people were killed and dozens more were injured in an attack by suspected rebels in the east of the country. The attack took place in the village of Beni, which has been repeatedly targeted by rebels in recent months. The rebels are believed to be members of the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), a Ugandan rebel group that has been operating in DR Congo for more than two decades.
Preventing violent extremism
The United Nations Security Council has adopted a new resolution aimed at preventing violent extremism. The resolution calls on all member states to take steps to address the root causes of violent extremism, such as poverty, inequality, and discrimination. The resolution also calls for increased cooperation between member states in sharing information and best practices on preventing violent extremism.
The adoption of the resolution comes at a time when violent extremism is a growing threat around the world. In recent years, there have been a number of high-profile terrorist attacks in Europe, North America, and Asia. The Security Council resolution is a welcome step towards addressing the threat of violent extremism and preventing future attacks.
