Ten Egyptian peacekeepers from the United Nations
...a formerly good idea gone bad...
Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) were maimed by shots fired by the presidential guard in Bangui, the U.N. said Tuesday.

The U.N. called the incident, which took place on Monday, "a deliberate and unspeakable attack" on an Egyptian police contingent that was unarmed at the time and travelling in a bus marked U.N.

Members of the Egyptian Constituent Police Unit "came under heavy fire from the presidential guard without prior warning or any response, while they were unarmed," the U.N. said.

The incident happened around 120 meters (yards) from the presidential residence, the U.N. added. In its attempt to leave the area, the bus "hit a woman who lost her life," said MINUSCA, adding that it had "offered its condolences to the victim's family" visited later in the day.

The members of the police unit had arrived earlier on Monday at Bangui airport as part of a periodic rotation and troop deployment in CAR. They were heading towards their base in a bus clearly marked "with U.N. initials," said Vladimir Monteiro, MINUSCA front man.
