The President of the Republic, René Préval, who attended the farewell ceremony, was posthumously awarded a national honor "Honor and Merit" in each of the eleven victims of the crash.
Mr. Annabi, the loss of these peacekeepers must not only strengthen the resolve of the UN Mission to implement its mandate in Haiti, but also ensure that their sacrifice, as well as civilians, police and military who have died serving MINUSTAH, have not been in vain.
Colonel Edima Guevara, commander of the Aviation Unit of Uruguay, has argued the same sense that his Jordanian counterpart, Colonel Mohammad Al-Mari. The work begun by the peacekeepers victims in full operation must, in their view, continue. This result somehow a way to honor them, they said.
