Mongolian peacekeepers reunite 2-year-old with parents
Members of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) Mongolian Battalion, first sergeant T.Buyanzul and second sergeant O.Tsend-Ayush, rescued a two-year-old Sudanese child from danger zone on March 8, according to the General Staff of the Mongolian Armed Forces.
The child, whose name was later confirmed to be Nia Ghaak, was wandering alone some 150 meters away from the barracks when the two peacekeepers found him. They reported the situation to UN Police and were able to find the child’s parents later in the evening.
Around midnight, three people came to find the child at the local patrol base.
UN Police and Community Watch Group for internally displaced persons extended their appreciation of the Mongolian peacekeepers.
The General Staff of the Mongolian Armed Forces also notified of a successful march-tactical competition organized by the UNMISS Mongolian Battalion among the Mongolian peacekeepers on March 11 and 12.
Twelve groups competed in the competition consisting of various exercises along a three-kilometer route in South Sudan.
