Zero Hedge: These Are The Largest UN Peacekeeping Operations In 2023 

The United Nations is withdrawing 13,000 personnel from Mali, in what UN Secretary-General António Guterres has called an “unprecedented” move, following a request from the Malian military junta to vacate the country.

True. the conflict does precede the mission. However, the mission does not seem to be bring peace.

Should we measure successful peacekeeping efforts like we measure cancer regimes? That is how long the patient or country is in remission?

In Southwest Sahara a UN peacekeeper said he watched the Moroccan military dump dead goats in wells to deny the water to Polisario guerillas operating out of Algeria.

Going way back a mining concern hired the usual mix of mercenaries to drive out Irish peacekeepers. The Irish soldiers were cut off and out numbered. they survived. the Un did nothing, the Irish government gave them the stink eye.

In Lebanon Hezbollah fires artillery from UN positions so the Israelis cannot fire back.

All this means is that the UN is a farce and useless other than as a sweet gig for translators like WNU.

After 60 years of on and off peacekeeping in Congo has it gotten any better?
