Bunia is a vibrant city of Ituri Province, DR Congo. I am privileged as I got
many times the opportunity to travel the area by UN helicopter at the time
of security reconnaissance in respect of militia activities, civil protection or
sometimes just to introduce the area from bird’s eye view to several UN
officials. My Contingent
Commander was also an important part of this type of activities; and I had to
accompany my commander as the part of my job. Contingent commander tried to
point all the important places, FARDC camps, camps of militia, our COB (Company
Operation Base) and TOB (Temporary Operation Base) from helicopter and explain
the recent activities so that the visitors can be up to date or aware of our works and at the same time they would be briefed about the overall
situation in our area of responsibility (AoR).
Sometimes we took short stopover in some particular places to meet the local armed forces, our troop members or civil elites. We talked to them, listened to them and sometimes narrate them what we are doing, what we will do soon to establish peace, what project we are going to implement to develop the area etc. I had to interpret the both side speeches in English and French or vice versa.

However,
here the pictures I am posting not only taken from Bunia city, moreover, a good
portion of the photos will represent the surrounding of Bunia.
