Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In December 2003 China joined the UN peacekeeping operations in Liberia by deploying 500 soldiers to the country. A total of 600 Chinese peacekeepers rotated deployment at an 8 month interval between January 2004 and June 2010. The peacekeepers consisted of supplies transport, engineering and medical units, including civilian police, military observers and staff officers. The Engineering and Medical units, captured in this project, are based in Zwedru in UNMIL Sector 4, which covers the southeast region of Liberia. The other units are captured in Record ID#1552. China concluded its peacekeeping activities for Liberia in 2018, withdrawing the fifth Chinese peacekeeping police team on February 28, 2018.
