All-female U.N. peacekeeping unit arrives in Liberia
I suppose that's one way to stop the diddling...UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The first all-female U.N. peacekeeping unit, made up of 103 women from India, arrived in Liberia on Tuesday to help the West African nation recover from 14 years of on-and-off civil war. The contingent, led by Commandant Seema Dhundia, is composed of three platoons of 30 women each plus 13 officers. Working with a logistics unit of 22 men, it will be based at a camp in the Liberian capital, Monrovia, but be available for deployment anywhere in the country, the United Nations said.
