Grant Description
On May 8, 2007, China announced that it would send an engineering unit to join a UN-led peacekeeping force in Darfur, Sudan. The first batch of 135 engineers and troops of a total of 315 were deployed in Darfur in November 24, 2007. Their main task was to build camps, roads and to dig wells to allow for the deployment of more peacekeepers.
On January 12, 2008, the first batch of engineers left for China and were replaced by a team of 160 engineers. The third batch of 172 arrived in July 2008. In March 2011, a fifth detachment of engineers arrived to take part in the Darfur peacekeeping mission. A sixth detachment arrived in January 2012.
In April 2019, it was reported that China had sent a total of 15 engineering units to Darfur, but when they were sent and how many engineers were in the units is unknown.
