    Is it bad form to quote oneself? Doing a bit of reminiscing and found the above.

    By hotter winds our fiery hearts are fanned,
    For lust of knowing what should not be known,
    We make the Golden Journey to Samarkand.

      "No, sir. He's a sergeant, and they don't deserve no respect at all, sir. I should know. They're cunning and artful, if they're any good. I wouldn't mind if he was an officer, sir. But sergeants are clever."

                  • Mali attack: Rocket kills three at UN base at Kidal

                    Three people have been killed in a rocket attack on a UN peacekeepers' base in northern Mali, the UN says.


                    Deadliest UN missions worldwide over last three years:

                    Mali (Minusma) - 53 deaths
                    Sudan (Unamid, hybrid mission in Darfur with African Union) - 48 deaths
                    DR Congo (Monusco) - 18 deaths
                    South Sudan (Unmiss) - 17 deaths
                    Ivory Coast (Unoci) - 16 deaths
                    Source: UN figures from 2013 up to 31 October 2015, excluding deaths from illness

                    Drugs, migrants and the influence of violent Islamist extremists has put Mali on the map and a UN peacekeeping operation on the ground has become the world's deadliest, writes the BBC's Alastair Leithead.
