Kenya has deployed special forces to the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo as part of a regional force meant to track down rebels and restore order in the mineral-rich region.
M23 rebels are active in the region. The Kenya Defence Forces troops, whose numbers have not yet been disclosed, entered the region on Friday through Ishasha, a border town between Uganda and the DRC.
These troops were preceded by the deployment of military equipment via the Kasindi border on September 19, according to the Congolese Ministry of Defence.
