近日，中国第九批赴马里维和工兵分队梅纳卡分遣队，开始执行帮助尼日尔步兵营修建掩体任务。
BEIJING, March 16 -- The Menaka detachment of the 9th Chinese peacekeeping engineering contingent to Mali started to build bunkers for the Niger infantry battalion recently.
此前因长期高温暴晒、雨水冲刷、长久失修，部分老旧的防空掩体损毁严重，无法正常使用，已基本失去原有的防卫功能。由于当地暴恐袭击异常频繁，为保证友军人员安全，防空掩体重建任务迫在眉睫。
Due to high-temperature exposure, rain erosion, and poor maintenance, some old air defense bunkers of the Niger peacekeeping infantry battalion were severely damaged and unusable. It is urgent to get them repaired to ensure the safety of UN peacekeepers given the frequent local violent and terrorist attacks.
此次施工任务是应联马团东战区工程处请求，优先等级为1级，要求官兵在30个工作日内，完成尼日尔步兵营修建4个防空掩体。维和官兵秉持“专业、优质、高效”的理念，冒着40摄氏度以上的高温，平均每天高强度作业达9小时，确保高质量地完成此次施工任务。
At the request of the Engineering Office of the Sector East Command of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA), Chinese peacekeepers need to complete the priority task of constructing four air defense bunkers within 30 business days.
Up to now, the Chinese peacekeepers have been performing high-intensity work for an average of nine hours a day braving the high temperature of over 40 degrees Celsius, striving to ensure the high-quality construction work.
中国第九批赴马里维和工兵分队工程机械手康越超说：“为联合国友军提供帮助，是我们中国维和军人义不容辞的责任。在联合国最危险的任务区，我们一定继承和发扬中国蓝盔的优良传统，努力完成联马团赋予的各项任务，为马里当地和平进程做出中国军人的贡献。“
It is our unshrinkable responsibility to provide assistance to the peer UN forces. In the most dangerous mission area, we will strive to complete various tasks assigned by MINUSMA, and contribute to the local peace process in Mali,” said Kang Yuechao, an operator of the 9th Chinese peacekeeping engineering contingent to Mali.
