The second batch of 155 peacekeepers is scheduled to be back home on January 20. During the 14 months, the army engineers conducted operations strictly under the unified arrangements of the United Nations-African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID). All 315 members of the Chinese engineering forces were awarded the UN medal of honor on October 11, 2008, the first time that UNAMID gave medals to a peacekeeping troop. (Xinhua) |
