Eleven paternity claims have been lodged against current or former members of the Tanzanian peacekeeping contingent in the Democratic Republic of Congo, a United Nations spokesman said on Monday.

“The Tanzanian battalion commander has detained implicated contingent members in the base awaiting further investigations,” spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters at UN headquarters in New York. “Additionally, all troops have been confined to base camp.”
