A rare red sandstorm on June 9, 2019 hit the Super Camp in northern Malian city of Gao.
The sandstorm swept across the camp at around 13:30, turning the sky yellow. But soon, the sky turned blood red…
Sands and stones were caught up in the gale, with rain lashing in the meantime.
The visibility in the camp was then reduced to less than five meters.
The wind speed reached 28.5 to 32.6 meters per second.
The red sandstorm gradually weakened from 14:10.
The images of the red dust storm start @ 0:15. Amazing
The United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA), established on April 25, 2013 to stabilize the country after the Tuareg rebellion of 2012, has become the UN’s most dangerous peacekeeping mission, with 177 peacekeepers killed out of a force of about 15,000.
