French say their Congo mission will have little impact on fighting
2003-06-10
Edited For Mockery
The document says: "The operation in Bunia is politicaly [sic] and military [sic] high risk; very sensitive and complex. France has no specific interest in the area except solidarity with the international community." The end of the intervention, it says, has been "firmly established at Sept 1st 2003", by which time a contingent of Bangladeshi peacekeepers is expected in Bunia. The Bangladeshis are to relieve 700 Uruguayan peacekeepers, who have been repeatedly humiliated by their failure to prevent a string of massacres.
Uruguayans and Bangladeshis and Frogs, OH MY!
During a 10-day battle for control of the town last month they remained in their barracks, without the numbers or a mandate to stop the slaughter of hundreds of civilians.
Still filling out the (quadruplicate) request forms for ammo...
Two unarmed UN military observers were murdered, and seven peacekeepers taken to hospital after having nervous breakdowns.
The PEACEKEEPERS are having nervous breakdowns?
They probably heard how the two military observers died. And the part about their livers and hearts being eaten...
