UN Peacekeeper Killed in CAR on Monday
A UN Peacekeeper from Rwanda was killed in the Central African Republic on Monday by a thus far unknown group of attackers. The attack on the UN forces of MINUSCA (United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic) took place 3km from Sam-Ouandja, where UN forces had recently on July 5th bolstered their presence due to a recent uptick in attacks, particularly one on July 4th which was repelled by MINUSCA peacekeepers. During Monday's attack, responding UN forces were able to kill three of their attackers, and capture one more.
