U.N. peacekeepers from Tanzania attend a special parade for their slain colleague Major Hatim Shaban killed in an operation with the Congolese army to drive back M23 rebels in Munigi outside Goma in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, August 31, 2013. The U.N. peacekeeper from Tanzania was killed and three others were wounded on Wednesday in an operation with the Congolese army to drive back M23 rebels. A 3,000-strong U.N. intervention brigade, with a tough new mandate to protect civilians and neutralise armed groups in the mineral-rich central African nation, sprang into action last week after the United Nations accused the rebels of shelling the city.
