The United Nations is set to expand its peace mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo, creating a new special force to work alongside existing peacekeeping troops, diplomats have told Al Jazeera.
DR Congo has been in crisis since M23 rebels took control of large parts of the country's east.
The proposed plan, currently being finalised, will create a new special intervention brigade, comprising between 2,000 and 2,500 troops, to be deployed to that area.
Al Jazeera's James Bays reports from Addis Ababa.
