Sangaris : première patrouille pour le GTIA Centurion
Le 13 juin 2015, la compagnie VBCI du GTIA (groupement tactique interarmes) Centurion a effectué ses premières patrouilles dans Bangui. Quelques jours après leur arrivée en Centrafrique, les légionnaires ont remplacé les tirailleurs du GTIA Turco. À bord de leurs VBCI, ils patrouillent plusieurs fois par jour, dans Bangui et ses alentours, afin d’appuyer la MINUSCA dans sa mission de sécurisation de la capitale.
La section VBCI du 2eREI (régiment étranger d’infanterie) a quitté en fin de matinée le camp de M’Poko pour rejoindre l’Est de Bangui. Au cours de leur progression, les légionnaires ont été immédiatement au contact de la population en traversant le marché en pleine effervescence qui borde l’avenue reliant l’aéroport au centre-ville. La section s’est ensuite engagée sur des pistes étroites en latérite bordées par des rizières et des hautes herbes, où le VBCI a une fois de plus démontré sa capacité à évoluer sur des terrains difficiles.
Après une demi-heure de trajet, les légionnaires ont débarqué des VBCI pour poursuivre leur patrouille à pied afin de gagner la maison du chef de quartier. En chemin, des villageois ont abordé la section pour signaler la présence de coupeurs de route à quelques kilomètres de là. Le chef de section a donné l’ordre à la section de réembarquer à bord des véhicules blindés afin de rejoindre rapidement la zone indiquée par la population. Après avoir sécurisé les lieux, les légionnaires ont constaté que les brigands avaient déjà fui, dissimulés par une végétation très dense.
Au cours de leur patrouille, les légionnaires ont croisé à plusieurs reprises des détachements de la MINUSCA qui patrouillaient dans le centre-ville de Bangui. Ils sont en effet plus de 2 300 casques bleus à sécuriser la capitale.
Chaque jour, la force Sangaris conduit des patrouilles dans Bangui et en province, de jour comme de nuit, par tous les temps, afin d’appuyer la MINUSCA dans la sécurisation et le retour de l’autorité de l’État en Centrafrique.
Lancée le 5 décembre 2013 par le Président de la République, l’opération Sangaris vise à rétablir un niveau de sécurité minimale en République centrafricaine et à appuyer la mission de l’ONU, désormais pleinement opérationnelle.

I am Pan, Io Pan, Io Pan Pan! Pan!
I am thy mate, I am thy man,
Goat of thy flock, I am gold, I am god,
Flesh to my bone, flower to thy rod.
With hoofs of steel I race on the rocks
Through solstice stubborn to equinox
And I rave, and I rape and I rip and I rend
Everlasting, world without end -
Manniken, maiden, maenad, man,
In the might of Pan
Io Pan, Io Pan Pan! Pan! Io Pan!
~ Aleister Crowley
In the days when seeing a foreign left hand drive lorry was unusual Peter photographed this one on Hagley Road Birmingham. It is a Magirus-Deutz post the merger with Iveco in 1975. The registration is 2150-VR 38, at present the country of origin eludes my searches. I suspect the picture (undated as ever) was taken around 1981.

I'm not even sure which version of R2 this is, I don't remember the "sewage treatment" battle-pack but I must have bought it at some point.

CSX L039 is heading southbound through Elgin, Qc towards Massena, NY. The set of power came off of CN 327 from the previous day.
Built as a GP7 in 1951 for the ACL, PREX 1601 now resides in the flatlands of northwest Ohio working on the former MAW. This engine was rebuilt into a GP16 in 1980 by Seaboard System, and became CSXT 1786 before being retired and sold to Pioneer in 1993. The unit still retains its Seaboard horn, which sounds really nice.

After a gap of nine years, my American friend Vlad is attending Toronto's Ukrainian and Polish Festivals again. We met up and caught up on things and news from each other.
Both the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland gave speeches promoting Canada's multiculturalism, reminding the community of the current Liberal government's strong support for Ukraine against Russian aggression, and promoting themselves of course (they are politicians after all).
Chrystia Freeland herself is of half Ukrainian blood and she speaks English, French and Ukrainian fluently. Lately she has been in the U.S. a lot being the chief negotiator representing Canada in trade talks with the American government under Donald Trump's presidency.
