Polish Military Police on mission in Congo

19.06.2006

A group of 31 Polish soldiers has departed from Wroclaw on a mission to the Democratic Republic of Congo. They are Military Police officers from Gliwice and Warsaw who are the first from among 130 Poles to be stationed there.

The MPs will be entrusted with securing the International Military Forces Command in Kinshasa as well as the airport in the capital. They will also cooperate with the EUPOL police mission. This is the first such Polish military mission in Africa.

Stupid mission.

[yankeedame]

LOL! The mission may be "stupid" but hubba-hubba.

(Hey, I'm just married...I'm not dead. )

I wish them success and safety.

Many Christians in the DRC are in need of protection from some very evil forces.

It is pathetic that the DRC is incapable of governing itself (but then look at New Orleans, La.)

I never get tired of all the cool photos of our friends in the Polish military. Thanks!

[Kozik]

Why do you think it's stupid?

[Grzegorz 246]

Honestly I have very little idea about Congo, but the whole mission will have something like... 2000 soldiers in a country of millions - in case of problems black hawk down 2 may become reality.

I have to apologize, but the photo with the little green minvan thing and all those soldiers around it just makes me think about the circus act and all the clowns piling out of the VW bug. Not to make fun of my own heritage...

May God keep them safe on their journey!
