The bodies of two UN experts who went missing in the Democratic Republic of Congo this month have been found, the United Nations said in a statement Tuesday.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said UN peacekeepers discovered the bodies of US citizen Michael Sharp and Swedish national Zaida Catalan on Monday outside the city of Kananga. The body of their Congolese interpreter, Betu Tshintela, was also discovered with them.
A Congo government official told CNN that Catalan's body was found decapitated, but Sharp and Tshintela were not beheaded. Their cause of death is not determined, according to government spokesman Lambert Mende.
"They were found together with the body of a Congolese interpreter who was working with them and who was identified clearly by our police," Mende said.
The bodies are at a municipal hospital in Kasai province and Mende said their remains will likely be transferred to Kinshasa on Thursday.

>>The bodies of two UN experts who went missing in the Democratic Republic of Congo this month have been found
Well.. it’s a start...
Posted mainly because this happened on Nikki Haley’s ‘watch.’ Awaiting the fallout...
“It is always difficult to lose a brave American dedicated to service,” Haley’s statement reads. “Michael was working on the front lines of what we try to do at the United Nations every day: find problems and fix them.”
Perhaps an autopsy could determine if the lack of head had anything to do with it.
Not staying alive, for sure.
But it’s the DEMOCRATIC Republic. Those things don’t happen.
Yeah, cause people working to stop human trafficking deserve to die. Asshole.
Surviving deep in enemy territory.
...and they died pursuing what loony un idea?
The UN is NOT the, ‘tool’ to use to beat back some of the world’s problems.
Superior Fire Power on the other hand... ;)
Were the bodies found drunk, at a whorehouse, with underage girls?
There’s certain ways to identify UN Experts, and that is one.
I am going to offer my help to the UN here. Zaida Catalan was decapitated. That means they cut her head off. Ok one death solved. The American and the interpreter were shot and killed by negative forces. There all three solved right here from my desk.
See my Post 11. Agreed.
According to the report, experts at “investigating widespread human rights violations in the region”. Supect the violators were feeling violated and moved to eliminate a threat. Not a real surprising outcome.
Well, apparently they weren’t experts then. Novices, greenhorns, tenderfoots, , webelos, perhaps.
The UN... stop anything?
You haven’t been paying attention ,have you.

Just remember the rule that any country that puts “Democratic Republic” in its name, isn’t.
