Today we come together with our Mission des Nations Unies au Mali - MINUSMA to pay tribute to the sacrifice of Captain Massamaesso Tangaou, our United Nations peacekeeper from Togo killed last week during the attack to the MINUSMA camp in Douentza.

A life largely dedicated to peacekeeping, Captain Tangaou served in UN peace operations in Côte d'Ivoire, the Central African Republic, and Chad, before joining our UN peacekeeping mission in Mali.

The farewell ceremony was held this morning at the Mission’s headquarters in Bamako, and attended by the Head of MINUSMA, Mahamat Saleh Annadif, the Malian Minister of Homeland Security, Gen. Salif Traoré, MINUSMA’s Force Commander, Maj. Gen. Jean-Paul Deconinck, along with the Mission’s personnel and fellow UN peacekeepers.

“The best way for us to honor the memory of our companion is to pursue the cause for which he sacrificed himself with more courage and determination. MINUSMA will continue to fulfill its mission and mandate,” said Mr. Annadif, extending condolences from the Mission and the whole United Nations family to the Captain’s wife and their three children.

We express our deepest condolences to the Government of Chad and the families of the two United Nations peacekeepers killed in Mali while serving with our Mission des Nations Unies au Mali - MINUSMA, after their convoy was struck by a mine or explosive device near Aguelhok, in the Kidal region, on its way to Tessalit. The explosion seriously injured two others, who were immediately evacuated for medical treatment.

We join MINUSMA in strongly condemning these acts of terror against UN personnel or innocent civilians, intended to paralyze peace operations and the implementation of the Mission's mandate. Full statement: bit.ly/2gJnP1h

We mourn the loss of a United Nations peacekeeper killed in Mali earlier this morning while serving with our Mission des Nations Unies au Mali - MINUSMA, following an attack by armed assailants to a MINUSMA camp in the town of Douenza. A Malian soldier was also killed in the attack and another peacekeeper was injured. We offer our deepest condolences to the families of the two soldiers.

The Head of UN Field Support, Atul Khare, was in Gao 🇬🇳 ️earlier today, at our Mission des Nations Unies au Mali - MINUSMA to launch the new supply chain management system for all UN field offices operated through United Nations Umoja, decommissioning the old platform known by the name Galileo.

The new system will help streamline inventory, property and fleet management, enable global inventory visibility, improve financial compliance, and help the United Nations be more transparent, efficient, and nimble. "We have chosen Gao as the place to launch this solution due to its remote location and lack of accessibility. If we can deploy the solution here in northern Mali, then we can deploy it anywhere," said Mr. Khare.

Today's event in Mali bids farewell to Galileo and looks ahead to the future of supply chain management for the United Nations.
