UNIFIL’s Force Commander Reserve (FCR) inaugurated a French-funded project at a public school in Kleyaa, south-eastern Lebanon, last week.

Last week Major Nina Raduha, from Slovenia, became the first woman contingent commander in the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL). She took charge of UNIFIL’s Slovenian Contingent on 22 May 2017. This is also her first deployment to a UN peacekeeping operation. 

A new Spanish Contingent, Brigadier General Venancio Aguado de Diego, took over the command of the Contingent and UNIFIL’s Sector East amidst a special ceremony at the Sector Headquarters in Marjayoun on 20 May.
