The Conflict
DRC got independence in 1960. Since independence the Country faced authoritarian rule under Colonel Jeseph Mobuto (1965 – 1994), ethnic strife and civil war torched by inflow of refugees fleeing from Rwandan Genocide and rebellion backed by regional ctys (Rwanda & Uganda). In 2003, under UN auspices/Peace Accord, President Joseph Kabila formed government of National Unity. Presently, the security situation has considerably improved and writ of Government is being established. Presidential elections are scheduled in November 2011.
During the initial operation Pakistan provided logistic support during movement of troops to and from Congo and inland movement to the United Nation troops. Pakistan Army Supply Corps (ASC) organized the whole operation in a meticulous manner. A systematic organization was created to ensure foolproof administrative arrangements for transportation of troops, weapons, equipment, stores and rations throughout Congo in unfriendly environments. Pakistani troops thus performed the assigned task with professional skill and devotion which earned them applause across the world.
