Yesterday, on December 11, China's 12th peacekeeping infantry battalion lifted off from Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport, bound for Juba, South Sudan. ✈️
Since the start of 2025, these battalions have been on the frontline of humanitarian aid: over 70 missions, 10,000+ supplies donated, and medical assistance to more than 1,000 residents in Sudan. 🌍❤️
The deployment is part of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS), where peacekeepers help maintain stability, support local communities, and foster development. For many young peacekeepers, it's a chance to make a real difference in a region still healing from conflict.
Beyond logistics and supply drops, the battalion will set up mobile clinics, repair essential infrastructure, and engage with local residents to build trust. This mission showcases China's growing role in global peacekeeping and commitment to humanitarian values.
As the world watches, the team's journey to Juba is a reminder of how collaborative efforts can bring hope and stability to communities in need. Stay tuned to amigonews.net for updates on their progress! 😊
