I believe that the UN has about 700 troops in Congo. 400 of those are French. That is only half of the total number of 1,500 (about half French) that will be sent there in the next 2 weeks. These troops will be concentrated in the highly contested Bunia area. BTW there may be more UN troops already in Congo. The 1,500 UN troop figure is the new force that was just sent in.

Not UN but EU forces.

"Not UN but EU forces"... well according to the logic I am trying to follow, these should be UN troops... Or maybe you meant EU troops under UN Mandate ?

at least 20,000 will be needed to restore order and disarm the militias.
