| 2012-02-20 |
| One of the biggest rebel groups in Sudan's Darfur region said it was holding 52 international UNAMID peacekeepers mainly from Senegal on Monday. A spokesman for the Justice and Equality Movement said, "We are holding the UNAMID soldiers because they entered our territory without permission and because they were accompanied by three Sudanese we suspect work for the security services." |

| #2 Years ago, National Lampoon did a comic featuring UN peacekeepers in Vietnam. Hopelessly stifled in bureaucracy and frivolous complaints, accomplishing nothing while surrounded by carnage and brutality, which they couldn't even agree to "deplore". |
