“They left their families, loved ones and communities, enthusiastic to contribute to peace and stability. Like their beloved brothers-in-arms of the other contingents, they too died because they wore the uniform of the United Nations. But let there be no mistake; they died as heroes of peace,” Annadif said at a memorial meeting. The Permanent Mission of Bangladesh to the United Nations said the memorial ceremony was held on Tuesday morning at the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission In Mali (MINUSMA) Operational Base in Bamako for the four fallen Bangladeshi peacekeepers who were killed on Feb 28. Earlier in the week, the two senior officials visited the Bangladeshi base in Gao to express in person their condolences to the fallen peacekeepers colleagues and to assure them of their full support.
