Health authorities in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) have resumed efforts to fight a major Ebola outbreak in eastern Beni region after a brief suspension following clashes.
"Despite deadly attacks .. Ebola response activities are continuing," the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Sunday.
[...] "Since their arrival in the region, the response teams have faced threats, physical assaults, repeated destruction of their equipment and kidnapping," Oly Ilunga.
On Saturday, a ceremony was held for the peacekeepers who were killed in the previous night's attack.
Fifteen other peacekeepers were killed in an ADF assault on a MONUSCO base in Beni in December 2017.

I know, we don't all use the same idioms around the world. To me, a ceremony is kinda like a celebration. The coronation of a monarch, a victory parade or dance or ball, things like that. I think "memorial" would have been a more fitting word than ceremony.

Ceremonies are held on Remembrance Day in Canada and they are not celebrations in the sense that you mean. That is the word used for as long as I can remember (pardon the pun).
