India Blooms News Service

New York, July 7 (IBNS) UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon Friday announced the appointment of Major General Iqbal Singh Singha of India as the head of the United Nations peacekeeping force monitoring the ceasefire in the Golan Heights between Israel and Syria.

Major General Singha will assume his new position as Head of Mission and Force Commander of the UN Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) in August, and will succeed Major General Natalio C. Ecarma of the Philippines.

In a statement issued by Ban’s spokesperson, the Secretary-General expressed his gratitude to Major General Ecarma for “his dedication and effective leadership of UNDOF over the past two and a half years.”

Major General Singha has extensive command experience and knowledge of peacekeeping attained through service at national and international levels, the statement added.

Prior to his appointment, Major General Singha was the General Officer of the Commanding Infantry Division, a position he held since 2010. His peacekeeping experience includes serving with the now-closed UN Mission in Eritrea and Ethiopia.

UNDOF was first established by the Security Council in 1974 to supervise the disengagement accord between Syrian and Israeli forces after their 1973 war. Last Friday, the Security Council agreed to extend its mandate until 31 December 2012.

Golan belongs to Syria but Israel occupied it after Arabs lost the 67 war.

Well there had to be some evidence of victory.

Everyone is not as idiotic and treacherous as the Gandhi dynasty, you know.

I remember watching a program on discovery couple of years ago about UN peacekeeping forces in Golan Heights and Gaza area.. Is there a reason why only Indian soldiers get posted there or I am generalizing too much ?

Well maybe Israel asked for this given the Indo-Israeli relationship. Also India is a major UN peacekeeper contributor so the numbers are in India's favor.

You sound like a bitter person. If you've got issues, see a shrink. Projecting your insecurities onto other people is childish and does not solve anything.

Says the one who probably touches himself/itself at night to the thought of being recognized and accepted as an 'arab' and 'bengali' at the same time.
