UN marks ’unwanted milestone’ of 60-year peacekeeping mission in Cyprus
In the shadow of the once-glamorous Ledra Palace Hotel, which lies on Cyprus’s dividing Buffer Zone, a memorial has been unveiled to mark 60 years of UN peacekeeping on the island.
It was called an “unwelcome milestone“ by UNFICYP’s Chief of Staff, Colonel Ben Ramsay, who said: “I would hope that there aren’t another 60 years of UNFICYP.“
Speaking to Forces News, he said that it was too long for a peacekeeping force to endure, with the absence of war not meaning that there is peace.
