"Operation CROCODILE is Canada's contribution to the United Nations Organization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUC). Members of the Canadian contingent work as staff officers at MONUC headquarters in Kinshasa and at the sector headquarters in Kisangani."
"The fighting began on 22 March in Gombe in central Kinshasa, with both sides – Government soldiers (FARDC) and forces loyal to Mr. Bemba, who was defeated last year by current President Joseph Kabila in the run-off round of landmark presidential elections – using heavy weaponry, including heavy shelling and continuous gunfire."
