UN approves the withdrawal of 2,000 peacekeepers from eastern Congo, marking the first phase of the process, with the mission's force to be reduced to 11,500 troops by April 30, 2024. The withdrawal is a response to the mission's failure to protect civilians against militia groups, leading to deadly protests and displacement of over 7 million people.
