Ivory Coast: United Nations peacekeepers die in car crash




6 Egyptian peacekeepers  working with the United Nations have died in a car accident in Ivory Coast and 3 Morrocans peacekeepers also died in a separate car accident last week.


The Egyptian peacekeeper's car crashed due to a blown tire which veered off the road while they were traveling from Yamoussoukro to Abidjan.

About 92 peacekeepers have been killed in Ivory Coast since the UN mission began in 2004.
