  1. Amongst a total number of 600 troops goin to Mali. Only one female!!!! And I keep askin if there wud ever b gender equality in certain professions. Thot the issue of Peace support operation involves both male and female? IQuoting Kofi Annan, “We can no longer afford to minimize or ignore the contributions of women and girls to all stages of conflict resolution… Sustainable peace will not be achieced witout the full and equal participation of women and men” note the word equal participation!!! Thumbs up female soldier!!!
