Title: UN peacekeeping helicopter downed in South Sudan Post by: Nemo1024 on August 26, 2014, 08:20:33 PM Three Russians killed after UN peacekeeping helicopter downed in South Sudan
http://en.itar-tass.com/world/746785 Quote Stephane Dujarric, spokesperson for UN Secretary General confirmed that the three killed helicopter pilots were Russian citizens. He added that the helicopter was chartered from a Russian company. Earlier, the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) issued a statement saying that three crew members died and one survived in a helicopter crash. It has confirmed that three crew members of a Mi-8 helicopter contracted by the UN have died as a result of the helicopter's crash near Bentiu, Unity state Tuesday evening. The survivor has been provided medical aid by a Medics Without Borders team in Bentiu, according to the statement. I find it ironic that Russia is helping with peacekeeping efforts in Africa, yet are denied all peace-promoting initiatives in a war and ethnic cleansing that is happening right on its border.
