A former UN peacekeeper disabled while serving in Mali has requested help from the government and the United Nations to secure adequate compensation. Pea Sophorn, 35, penned a letter dated December 11 to Claire Van der Vaeren, the UN resident coordinator for Cambodia, stating his service as a medic in Mali in 2014 where he fell ill from food poisoning, causing blindness.

Repatriated in September 2014, Sophon wrote that he sold all his property to pay for treatment. “Now I am hopeless, since I lost everything” he said, pleading for the UN to provide redress.
