马里加奥4月8日电近日,应联马团约旦维和部队的请求,中国第九批赴马里维和工兵分队开始执行一项新的援建施工任务 — 为约旦地勤分队修建新弹药库。

GAO, Mali, April 8 -- Recently, the 9th Chinese peacekeeping engineering contingent to Mali has begun the construction of a new ammunition depot for the Jordanian ground element at the request of the Jordanian peacekeeping force to Mali.

由于老旧的弹药库经过雨水冲刷、年久失修,已经无法正常使用。为保证维和友军人员和弹药安全,新的弹药库修建任务迫在眉睫。

Due to years of rainwash and poor maintenance, the old ammunition depot has been out of normal use. It is in urgent need to build a new one to ensure the safety of the peacekeepers and ammunitions.

按照联马团东战区工程处下达的任务,此次施工任务的优先等级为1级,官兵们要在30个工作日内,完成新弹药库的修建。 According to the mission issued by the Engineering Office under the Sector East Command of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA), the construction task ranks Level 1 in priority, and the Chinese peacekeepers should complete the construction of the new depot within 30 working days.

进入热季的加奥,白天炎热高温,午后的最高气温达到47摄氏度。如果提前收到恐怖袭击预警,官兵们还需身着20多公斤的防弹衣,头戴钢盔,全副武装进行施工作业。在严峻的自然条件和恐怖袭击威胁下,平均每天作业9小时。

It is scorching hot during the daytime in Gao, with a maximum temperature of 47℃ in the afternoon. If a terrorist attack warning is received in advance, the Chinese peacekeeping engineers have to be fully armed with the body armor and helmet weighing over 20 kg, to carry out the construction operation. Under such severe natural conditions and the threat of terrorist attacks, they need to work 9 hours per day on average.
