On 21 December, at a somber ceremony at Rafik Hariri International Airport , UNIFIL Head of Mission and Force Commander Major General Aroldo Lázaro and representatives of the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) honoured and bade farewell to Second Warrant Officer John Nartey Angmor, a Ghanaian peacekeepe

I want to thank the Members of the Lebanese Parliament who are here today, and your colleagues who couldn’t be here, for your kind words, solidarity, and support.

Last night a peacekeeper was killed and three others were injured in an incident in Al-Aqbieh, just outside UNIFIL’s area of operations in south Lebanon.

We offer our deepest condolences to the friends, family, and colleagues of the peacekeeper who died.
