KINSHASA (Reuters) - The U.N. peacekeeping force in Democratic Republic of Congo must revamp its strategy for protecting civilians, because existing tactics were having little lasting effect, according to an internal mission document seen by Reuters on Tuesday.

The briefing, dated September 7, said the strategy resulted in an illusion of protection rather than real security, putting pressure on the United Nations' biggest peacekeeping mission that has been dogged by criticism since its launch 13 years ago.
