  Why the focus on the safety of Ghanaian army only, is it right if others got killed and Ghanaian armies are safe. We have always said Ghanaian army had never gotten involved in any direct open war combat ever cos of fear of being killed and body bags returning to Kotoka Airport. Ghanaians army simply have perfected non combative peace mission and no more ever in the history of Ghana army. They are cowards who only intimidate innocent civilians back home in Ghana. I doubt if Ghana army could have faced any terrorist groups as Boko Haram, ISIS, Al-Shabab etc. Ghana army are just bunch of cowards meant for only peace keeping missions.

  Ghanaian peacekeepers praised by UN for foiling attack in South Sudan

  Ghanaian peacekeepers have been praised by the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) for foiling an attack at a United Nations (UN) protection site in Leer town of former Unity State on Wednesday.
  
  The attack which occurred between 11pm and midnight on Wednesday at the Mission’s Temporary Operating Base (TOB) has been strongly condemned by the head of the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS), David Shearer, as being carried out with callous disregard for the lives for civilians as well as UN and humanitarian workers.
  
  The base came under small arms attack from the direction of the nearby Government-held town but the Ghanaian peacekeepers at the base swiftly responded to the attackers and repulsed them.
  
  Mr Shearer in a statement issued and signed by the UNMISS deputy spokesperson Shantal Persaud lauded the quick response of the Ghanaian forces for successfully repelling the attack and remaining on high alert throughout the night.
  
  “They reacted in the best possible manner, according to the true spirit of peacekeeping. Their quick defensive action secured the safety of all of the internally displaced people who had sought UN protection adjacent to the base,” he said.
  
  “We strongly condemn the attack, a call on all parties to the conflict to respect the sanctity of UN premises.
  
  “We are here to protect and support the people of South Sudan. The base is located at Leer for that reason. The people are hungry and deprived as the result of the famine. However, it is clear the attackers have no consideration for their plight, given those who most desperately need help will suffer more because of a likely resulting delay of humanitarian aid,” said David Shearer.
  
  There were no UNMISS or other casualties within the base from the attack.
  
  Currently, there is no confirmation of which party to the conflict carried out the attack. UNMISS is continuing to investigate the incident and will examine whether the TOB needs to be further strengthened.graphic.com.gh

  Get some education in the English language before you open your mouth or try to write.
  Remember, Ghanaian soldiers brought peace to Liberia. Some lost their lives in this operation!

  Ghanaian soldiers are among the best in the sub-region. They helped to bring peace to Liberia and other conflict areas. They have also lost some lives in doing so. Be proud of your armed forces for once. Shame on you!
