Youth erect barricades and block UN peacekeepers' entry in Mambasa

In Mambasa, youth erected barricades on April 7 to block the entry of UN peacekeepers from MONUSCO, despite a recent attack in the area. This protest comes as a UN mission team was deployed to assess the security situation, which has been marked by repeated ADF attacks resulting in nearly a hundred deaths in a month. Civil society actors are calling for better communication regarding this deployment to ease tensions.
