Three Tanzanian Soldiers On A SADC Mission Killed By Rebels In DRC

The SADC Secretariat has announced that three Tanzanian soldiers, deployed under a SADC Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo, lost their lives, while three others sustained injuries following an attack by rebels.

In a press release issued by SADC on Monday, April 8, it was reported that a South African soldier passed away while undergoing treatment for health complications at a hospital in Goma, DRC. It reads:

The Southern African Development Community (SADC) Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (SAMIDRC) sincerely regrets to inform the public of the passing on of three of its soldiers and three who got injured in the United Republic of Tanzania.

This unfortunate incident happened after a hostile mortar round had fallen near the camp they were staying. SAMIDRC hereby also informs the public of the passing on of a South African soldier who died while receiving treatment due to health challenges in a Hospital in Goma, DRC.

The soldiers were/are deployed under the auspices of SADC as part of a regional response to address the unstable and deteriorating security situation prevailing in the Eastern DRC.

The SADC family expresses its heartfelt condolences to the beloved families and the Governments of the Republic of South Africa and the United Republic of Tanzania on the irreplaceable loss of the deceased soldiers and, at the same time, wishes the three injured soldiers speedy recovery.

The SAMIDRC remains focused on carrying out its mandate as per the principle of collective self-defence and collective action outlined in the SADC Mutual Defence Pact (2003).

The primary objective of the SADC Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (SAMIDRC) deployed on December 15, 2023, is to support the Government of the DRC in restoring peace and security in the eastern DRC.

This region has experienced heightened conflicts and instability due to the resurgence of armed groups.

As part of the SAMIDRC, a regional SADC force comprising soldiers from Malawi, South Africa, and Tanzania collaborates with the Congolese Army (FARDC) to combat these armed groups operating in the eastern DRC.

The deployment of the SAMIDRC aligns with the principle of collective self-defence and collective action outlined in the SADC Mutual Defence Pact (2003).

According to this pact, any armed attack against one of the States Parties is considered a threat to regional peace and security and warrants immediate collective action.

Major General Monwabisi Dyakopu from the Republic of South Africa serves as the Force Commander for the SAMIDRC.

Yaa our ZDF must be professional. They have killed zimbos during demonstrations suppressing freedoms of expression for the benefit of oppressive rule. It is in light of this that some commentators are calling for zdf to join the Drc mission. That's what they were trained for not to kill their kith and kin and also used to rig elections. The political and economic situation in the country derive so much from the influence and protection that zdf gives to certain quarters in our country. They are now a political organ. In short I say they must participate in each and every mission available in sadc such that they may have introspection of their role in society

I'm astonished at seeing some ama2k here commenting about the participation of Zimbabwe during the second Congo civil war.i would like to tell them point blank to please never comment on issues you know nothing about.Many Zimbabweans lost their lives in vain during that war protecting the interests of Robert Mugabe and Billy and Laurent Kabila who was never loved by the generality of the DRC people.And that participation marked the point when Zimbabwe's financial crisis started up to now. please ama2k shut the f.u.c.k up!!!

Very true. Most people are making comments which expose their intelligence, and most base their comments on what they hear at rallies and meetings which they take hook, line and sinker.

Ok why other SADC states are not sending their troops. Besides what's the use of Waiting for them to perish like Rwanda. Everyone must come to the round table

while sympathizing with the bereaved families and gvts affected, we wish to strengthen the support we render to those gallant sons who selflessly lost their lives to defend peace and stability in the drc. we salute you heroes, go well ,we are proud of you, true pan Africans compatriots, you will always be remembered. on the other side I think ZIMBABWE is well informed about drc as it once fought there.given that knowledge my suggestion was to add a contingent of zdf(zna) . they have the experience and know the drc territory. maybe it could turn the tables as they had done before

There would be no need for SADC to deploy soldiers under it if it had rules and regulations which were strictly followed and respected that stop wars breaking up in member states. They had a court or tribunal which was made impotent and now they are into using force instead of persuasion.

Heyi, tough job... But I guess they are mentally trained to accept death as a very possible outcome in the execution of their duties. MSRIP.

Vachanyarara havo, thats what is called war,, Why announcing every casualty like an accident, what do yu expect in a war or yu want cause panic to families of those boots on the ground. When casualties rise to unacceptable numbers you will cause uprisings back home!!
