Situation 2:Coffee break talk about mission differences

Maj.Tomas:It’s nice to enjoy the coffee break during the heavy work,don’t you?

Cpt.Li:Yes.It is always good to take away the stress after going through a lot of work.

Maj.Tomas:Restoration of national authority,rehabilitation of IDP,supervision of ceasefire between factions.Ah,this mission!

Cpt.Li:Is this the first UN peacekeeping mission for you?

Maj.Tomas:No.My first one was in the UN Military Observer Group for India and Pakistan.

Cpt.Li:Was it complicated?

Maj.Tomas:It was the 1st generation peacekeeping mission.Political officers and military observers played the main roles.

Cpt.Li:Well,the missions in DRC,Mali,South Sudan are really difficult as they are all multi-dimentional ones,but those in Lebanon,West Sahara,and Syria are simpler.

Maj.Tomas:I also think so.In most cases,human rights,humanitarian aids,reconstruction and rehabilitation will see an overstaffed,long-time running and high-cost mission.

Cpt.Li:Yes,and don’t forget the UNPOL.

Maj.Tomas:The coffee break is always too short for me.It is time to get back to my desk now.See you then!

Cpt.Li:See you!
