Three Bangladeshi peacekeepers injured in an improvised explosive device (IED) blast in the Central African Republic died at a hospital in Bouar town on Tuesday.

The deceased are Sainiks Jashim Uddin, 31, Jahangir Alam, 26, and Sharif Hossain, 26.
Four Bangladeshi peacekeepers were injured in the explosion in the early hours of Tuesday.

The blast occurred when a vehicle carrying the Bangladeshi peacekeepers was crossing the Kaita area at 8.35pm (local time) on Monday (1.35am Bangladesh time Tuesday), the ISPR said in a press release.

The four injured peacekeepers including Major Ashraful Haque and Sainiks Jashim, Jahangir and Sharif were transferred to Bouar town of the Central African Republic for better treatment where doctors at Mimusca Hospital declared Jahangir, Jashim and Sharif dead around 6.30am (local time) on Tuesday (11:30am Bangladesh time).

Injured Major Ashraful Haque is undergoing treatment at the hospital.

Inna lillahi wa Inna Ilaihi Rajiun. Rest in Peace.

Only a few days ago, I met a former member of the Japanese Self-Defence Force who was sent to Mozambique on a UN mission. The Commanding Officer there was from Bangladesh.

He was telling me about the temperature there. It is 60 degrees C daytime. Very very hot. But, the nighttime temperature falls down to only 25 degrees C. With a difference of 35 degrees every day, a person feels very cold at night even though the temperature is still 25 degrees.

The weather in the Central African Republic is quite different. However, our troops face similar challenges almost everywhere they go for peacekeeping.

Now, the country lost three of its brave soldiers. May Allah grant them eternal Paradise!!
