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.

it never ends! the breadbasket of civilization of the middle east and africa, yet they are some of the poorest most mismanaged countries u ever heard of.

The next cause for the world war would be surely arising from the middle east,predictions can be made from ongoing conspiracy theories and never settling war despite of many tries of settlement and ceasefires

It is the risk takers and explorer which lead the growth of human civilization.

Those who stay behind usually just die off.
