Chinese Peacekeeper Killed in Mali Attack

The Diplomat published on 2 June 2016 a report titled "Chinese Peacekeeper Killed in Mali Attack" by Shannon Tiezzi. One Chinese peacekeeper was killed and four were injured during an attack, presumably by al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, in Gao, Mali at the camp of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission (MINUSMA). Sixty peacekeepers attached to MINUSMA have been killed, more than any other UN peacekeeping mission.
