UN Peacekeepers Move Into Disputed Territories

UN armoured vehicles and peacekeepers were welcomed into Avalon.

The United Nations (UN) has sent in some 250 peacekeepers into the town of Avalon in Brikvania. The deployment of the peacekeepers is part of the peace agreement signed between Brikvania and the Kingdom of Lego. 

King Brik II welcomes the deployment of the peacekeepers.

The peacekeepers are made up of troops from Equanter and the Kingdom of Caledon Neutral Territory.  They are part of a larger UN peace mission in Brikvania, UNBRIK. Currently UNBRIK has about 1,200 troops scattered throughout Brikvania.

The UN troops will take charge of the security in Avalon until the Brikvanian government could send enough police and army personnel to the town. 

According to the UN Secretary-General Perez Bricko: "The peacekeepers in Avalon and the Legolis Province are there at the invitation of the Brikvanian government. We will ensure the security of the province and its people".

The Armed Forces of Brikvania (AFBv) has reduced its military presence in the province, and is facilitating the deployment of more police officers into the town.

Another 150 peacekeepers have been flown into Malatian Province of Brikvania, which had suffered the most destruction arising out of Legos air assault during the war with Brikvania.

Some 2,000 ethnic Malatians were killed or wounded during air attacks by Lego warplanes in the past few weeks.  There were angered against the central government amongst ethic Malatians over the failure of the Brikvanian army to protect the Malatian Province. 

​King Brik II announced that the government will come out with an aid package for all the three provinces to rebuild their economy which were destroyed during the conflict with the Kingdom of Lego.
