Mixed Results In DRC As Kenya's Quick Reaction Force Play Against Malawi Battalion

Over the weekend, Kenya's Quick Reaction Force (QRF), serving in the Democratic Republic of Congo, participated in a series of friendly sporting activities against the Malawi Battalion at Beni.

The sporting activities, Netball, Basketball, and Volleyball, were geared toward cementing ties, instilling discipline, and enhancing a common cause between the two militaries serving under the United Nations Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (MONUSCO).

Women's netball ended in favour of the Malawi Battalion, while Kenya led in basketball and volleyball.

The sporting activities are an initiative among United Nations friendly forces deployed in DR Congo to enhance inter-state cooperation on peace operations.

The Kenya Contingent Commander Lt Col Munoru congratulated all the players for their participation in the sporting activities and said that the efforts were already bearing fruits with better relations.
