Fourth UN peacekeeper dies after C.Africa chopper crash 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseA fourth Senegalese UN peacekeeper has died after he was injured in a combat helicopter crash in the Central African Republic two weeks ago, the UN said on Monday. The helicopter crew were part of a military operation against the 3R militia, one of several Central African armed groups, UN officials said. The militia group is one of 14 that signed up to an eighth attempted peace agreement with the Central African government this year, but militias have breached the accord repeatedly. Fighting has since forced nearly a quarter of the country’s 4.5 million people to flee their homes and rival militia groups control most of the country.
