Another poster has question how up to date the Wikipedia information that I supplied on MONUSCO actually is.
Below are the official UN links to the mission in the DRC for anyone interested.
https://www.unmissions.org/
https://monusco.unmissions.org/
The second link is in French however confirms that the commander of the mission is the same person I named
Général de corps d'armée Derick Mbuyiselo Mgwebi (Afrique du Sud)

The UN mandate is for 22,016 people not far of the Wikipedia number of 23,000 that I previously quoted.

"Le Conseil a alors autorisé à la MONUSCO un effectif maximal de 19 815 soldats, 760 observateurs militaires, 391 fonctionnaires de police et 1 050 membres d’unités de police constituées, en sus des composantes civile, judiciaire et pénitentiaire appropriées."
