Female policewomen of BANFPU-1, Rotation-14 peacekeepers are guarding the airport, about 8,500 kilometres away from Bangladesh, the police announced in a statement on Friday. “In addition to Bangladesh, we have been performing our duties in foreign countries as well under the United Nations with great pride and dignity. It’s a big challenge for us to ensure the security of this Congolese airport,” Rotation Commander Merina Akter said. The expedition of the female police peacekeepers in conflict-ridden countries outside Bangladesh has also rekindled the hopes of the Congolese people, the statement added.
