An award-winning Pakistani commander of the UN Peacekeeping Force who is unable to return home from the Democratic Republic of the Congo due to the coronavirus is unfazed by her challenges despite her daughter awaiting her return since 6 of April.

Major Samia Rehman's story was highlighted by the UN peacekeeping Twitter account on Monday.
My homework expired on April 6, but I can't go home because of COVID-19. My two-year-old child asks Mom when are you going back I am worried but my passion for work has doubled Major Samia was quoted as saying in the United Nations' peacekeeping account. Together we can limit proliferation.



Last year, Major Samia was chosen for the SRSG testimony of 2019. She is the first female officer in the Pakistani army to receive this honor.

The certificate was awarded to Major Samia for her outstanding performance in mission level studies, analyzes and other valuable contributions. Major General Terry Lyon testified to Samia Rahman on behalf of the Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General.

The United Nations and US officials have repeatedly praised the Pakistani peacekeepers deployed in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

In February, the Pakistani peacekeepers, part of the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Medusco), received the United Nations medal at the Addikifu party in South Kivu, a province of the central African country.

The team of 15 female officers, who work with the commander and captain, have been stationed in the war-torn country since June last year.

The officers are psychologists stress counselors, vocational training officers gender advisors doctors nurses, operations officers media officers, and logistics officers.
