Withdraw South African soldiers from DRC at once
2 March 2024
While the South African government advocates peace for Ukraine and dragged Israel to the International Criminal Court to put an end to its military action against Hamas, it appears quite happy with the fact that its own soldiers are being killed in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
A total of 2 900 soldiers of the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) were deployed to the DRC, but should be withdrawn from the country as soon as possible.
Government only sent its soldiers there in an attempt to polish its image in Africa.
President Cyril Ramaphosa seems to think it is good enough to express condolences to the loved ones of the soldiers who perish in the ongoing conflict in the DRC.
