Correct answer
D. Mali
Explanation
Mali: Peace keeping in Mali has been called the UN’s ‘most dangerous mission’, where peacekeepers have sustained severe and regular casualties while protecting civilians from instability, which includes deadly inter-ethnic clashes. MINUSMA, the UN Mission in Mali, was established in April 2013, when the Security Council voted to approve an operation. Pakistan is one of the largest contributors to the UN force and so far, 185 Pakistani soldiers have died during UN peace missions.
