Two peacekeepers die in Mali as UN admits failings [The Nation] 05 Oct, 2016
BAMAKO - The UN said Tuesday a second peacekeeper had died following an attack on a base in northeastern Mali, as it reported serious failings in its most dangerous ongoing mission.
More than 11,000 UN police and military are currently serv ing in Mali, attempting to guarantee security in lawless swathes of the vast Sahel nation. A UN statement released early Tuesday said “a second peacekeeper died overnight from his injuries,” in the attack near the Algerian border. A peacekeeper from Chad was already known to have died on Monday, joining more than 100 others who have lost their lives serving the UN’s deadliest active deployment.
