Pakistani Troops in Africa

How about peace keeping at home first before jumping into Somalia?

This was in 1993, get a grip.

Bangladesh is largest supplier for troops in UN peacekeeping missions . After that its India and Pakistan i guess amongst others . 1st world countries throw money and 3rd world countries throw lives . Maybe one day when will not be so poor we will not have to sacrifice troops for foreign lands .

Wrong, for many years it was Pakistan and during the early 90's it was Pakistan. Bangladesh a few years ago became largest contributor to UN Peacekeeping missions. As of January 31, 2013 UN data shows Pakistan is ranked second in terms of contribution of military and police to UN Missions, with India in third.

Its not wrong . I stated current situation not historical facts . It all boils down to which country wanna make how much money sending in their troops for "peace keeping" . I hope one day i don't see India in top 10 at least but i guess the day is yet too far .

India Pakistan and Bangladesh are in top 5 with Ethopia and Nigeria .

Khud ke ghar me aag lagi hui hai aur bachane chaley kisi aur ka ghar , LOL . Its just economics into Play . U.S. and almost developed countries barring Italy i guess are not even in top 20 .
