Bangladesh now a "brand name" in UN Peace Support Operations
2015-11-23
Bangladesh Ambassador to the USA Mohammad Ziauddin has said Bangladesh has become a brand name in the UN Peace Support Operations.
I'm sure the B-desh peacekeepers indeed have a reputation...
“Till now, 122,000 Bangladeshi troops have served in 54 missions in 25 war-ravaged countries. Of them, 119 valiant soldiers have laid down their lives for the cause of international peace and security,” he told a function in Washington DC.

Referring to the UN peacekeeping missions, the Ambassador said Bangladesh today is the number one troops contributing country to the UN peacekeeping operations with over 9,000 blue helmets in nine missions in nine countries, said a press release received here on Saturday night.
Not for gratis, however...

#2  Sending one's troops overseas reduces their proclivity for coups, looting, raping or pillaging back home. Think of it as a 'jobs program' with foreigners covering the graft.

#1  These UN PK'ers may be needed back in their homeland soon as the ISIS/ISIL has repor begun operating from Bangla, IIRC formally as the "IS/ISIS in Bangladesh"???

Have threatened the US = White House + NYC, Japan, PH, Canada, and Bangla since Bataclan = Paris + France attacks.
