![]() ![]() I trust that the Congolese authorities will conduct a full investigation into this incident. ![]() It is our hope that the cause of their deaths will be determined following a more thorough examination. We will honor their memory by continuing to support the invaluable work of the Group of Experts and the whole UN family in the DRC. Michael and Zaida lost their lives seeking to understand the causes of conflict and insecurity in the DRC in order to help bring peace to the country and its people. I convey my profound condolences to Michael's and Zaida's families, loved ones and colleagues. I am deeply saddened to confirm that the remains discovered by peacekeepers from the United Nations Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO) on 27 March outside of the city of Kananga in the Congolese Kasaï-Central province are those of Michael Sharp (United States) and Zaida Catalan (Sweden), members of the Group of Experts on the Democratic Republic of the Congo missing since 12 March 2017. ![]()
