Internet to make peacekeepers at home
  

  Surfing the Internet will no longer be difficult for Chinese peacekeepers in the Democratic Republic of Congo.   

  The Chinese peacekeeping troops will carry 10 computers with them. And the UN will offer 6 net interfaces at the places where the troops will station. As a result, the peacekeepers can keep in touch with their families by e-mail and keep up with home and international news in the far-flung Africa continent.   

  Officers said as one of the key equipment carried by the engineering troops, advanced communication system could improve both the command of the troops and the harmony of the operation.   

  For example, the high-powered transmitter-receiver could enable the troops to get contact with people at any place in China. Transmitter-receiver mounted on advanced command car can send messages to places over 1,000 km away, which solves the long-existed communication difficulty in troops on the march. Communication equipment is also given out in every troop so as to ensure internal communication.  

  Besides the Internet, TV programs were also available for peacekeepers. They could watch CCTV 4 and CCTV 9. With these modern electronic gadgets, the Chinese peacekeepers are sure to feel at home in Africa.
