The United Nations Peacekeeping mission has been around for more than 60 years.
In that time, it’s helped many countries transition from conflict to peace and stability.
Its troops are deployed by member states and number in their tens of thousands…
But there’s a growing pushback against the blue helmets – especially in Africa – where some host nations say they’ve lost confidence in their mission.
Democratic Republic of Congo is among those–calling for their withdrawal or who have already sent them packing.
But what’s the alternative?
And will this pave the way for private armies to take over?
