In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Sudanese separatists were said to have hosted nearly 10 United Nations (UN) stuff.

The UN Stability Mission (MONUSCO) Daniel Ruiz, a representative of the North Kivu state, reported that the personnel were taken hostage in the Monusco settlement in the Munigi district by 500 Southern Sudanese separatists.

Ruiz said he was trying to reconcile with the separatists and Ugandai Keny who wanted to go to Ethiopia.
