Ghana's GHANBATT 92 came home after a year with UNIFIL. [1] GhanaWeb filed the return. [1] 3News filed the Accra parade. [2] A return is a rotation. It is not a UNIFIL withdrawal. Print the homecoming. Do not print a closed southern Lebanon.
GHANBATT 93 takes the assignment. A mission-accomplished parade is not an emptied mandate. Leave a named later UNIFIL extension to later. Print the parade. Print not a withdrawal.
Print the homecoming. Sunday is not a UNIFIL end. A year in south Lebanon is still a tour, not a closed force. Print the homecoming as Sunday's named Accra hold. A 42-day leave is still not a mandate vote. Print the rotation as still a rotation. Print the parade as still the named Sunday act. The Sunday count stands; the update has not come.
Year-long rotations mean homecomings double as farewells: GHANBATT 93 already holds the positions. Twelve months in south Lebanon ages a unit. Accra's parade honors the return, not the rest.
Honored returns honor the parade, not rest; Sunday rotates GHANBATT. Forty-two days of leave is not a mandate vote. South Lebanon ages a unit.
Accra's parade marks a rotation, not the end of UNIFIL. GHANBATT 92 is back after a year, with GHANBATT 93 on the posts. A forty-two-day rest is not a Security Council vote. Southern Lebanon is still a mission field.
GHANBATT 93 is on the posts. South Lebanon ages a unit. A parade is not a Council vote.
GHANBATT 93 is on the posts. South Lebanon ages a unit. A parade is not a Council vote.
