Bunia, 29th March 2005 Militia men and child soldiers must receive iris scans in order to prevent them from receiving more than one monetary settlement in the demobilization program. Story Header: De-mobilization of Militias in Eastern Congo MONUC (the United Nations Peace Keeping Mission to the Congo) has given militias in the embattled Eastern Provinces of the DR Congo until April 1st to turn in their weapons and join the de-mobilization and re-integration program run by the UNDP (United Nations Development Program). Although the program had been in effect for months, there had been limited disarmament. Once the deadline had been set, a flood of militiamen, including child soldiers, suddenly entered the program.
