UN Mission In Abyei Welcomes Deployment Of All-Women Indian Peacekeepers

The UN Interim Security Force for Abyei on January 16 welcomed the deployment of the single largest all-women platoon of peacekeepers from India, saying it reaffirms the country's continued commitment towards peacekeeping. The women peacekeepers arrived in Abyei on January 14 to begin their deployment with the UNISFA. Abyei is a disputed zone on the border of South Sudan and Sudan and has been accorded a "special administrative status." The platoon, comprising two officers and 25 other ranks, is part of an engagement platoon and specializes in community outreach. It will perform extensive security-related tasks as well.
