Chinese peacekeeping officer's personal experience in Western Sahara (2)

White bones and black wind in the peacekeeping mission area

The nearly-20-years-military-conflict left countless mines in Western Sahara, especially at the first line of the intermediate buffer area where observers were deployed. Except the mines, there was also a large number of unexploded ammunition left by the war.

According to senior observers, once you find white bones of dead animals on the ground, you should be alert. During the normal patrols, we should strictly follow the tracks left by previous vehicles. Once the tracks are covered by quicksand, our vehicles will run the risk of hitting a mine.

In addition to the visible white bones everywhere, the black wind of the Sahara Desert is also impressive.

When the sandstorm occurred, it came like a towering black wall of sands. It's both spectacular and frightening! The wild wind mingled with gravels would shower on the glass and body of the vehicles with crackling sounds.
