Patrolling The Lawless Sahara Desert With The Blue Helmets | VICE on HBO 

We joined the U.N. peacekeepers known as the "Blue Helmets" on their mission across the lawless Sahara desert in Mali. WATCH NEXT: Iran's Growing Power Over Iraq - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oTPKJtPWNRQ.html

"Serve the food!" "Hey brother they're filming" "Turn left!"

The Bengali troops are like that one likeable character. They may be goofy and funny sometimes but they do their job, help as much as they can and have accomplishments to be proud of.

"Everyone do it nicely. We are being recorded"

“If he asks, say it’s chicken” “Is this chicken biryani?” “Uh yes, yes it is” I’m dead lmao

I live in Sierra Leone and the Bangladeshi army helped the people a lot.... they driven out many warlords from S.L and in my village , they still have a base...their doctors are very helpful...at least in our village no one dies from normal high fever and dysentery or diarrhea..... 5 years ago death from these diseases were normal, all thanks to the Bangladeshi Army Doctors...and also some French medical team helped a lot......

*The cameraman ain't no snitch.*

Lmao "if he asks just tell him it's chicken" "is this chicken?..." "yes yes it is"

Good Job Bangladesh. Thanks for your service.

This video: 80% peacekeeping 20% memes

Everbody is making fun of Bangladeshi troops, completely ignoring the fact that their UN troops literally liberated Sierra Leone.

I'm an Indian Bengali and the conversation at the beginning was hilarious. Good luck to these brave troops.

Journalist: "Is this chicken Biryani?" Soldier: "Yes!" Journalist: "Then where is the f**kin Chicken!!!"

Me: * hears * German tiger attack helicopter Also me: imagines a flying German tiger tank

*”Patrolling the Sahara almost makes you wish for nuclear winter.”*

“WE ARE BEING RECORDED” got me dead😂

Actually , it shows the brotherhood among the soldiers and how they work and function perfectly ..these are authentic scenes .Loved it ❤

Imagine understanding bengali without them knowing and you hear them say "if he asks tell him it's chiken"

Everyone making fun of the two men arguing about food that no one appreciates the fact that these Bangladeshi men are risking their lives to maintain peace. Appreciate❤

Isis: we have jihadis Un: we have bangladeshi soldiers

don’t show the blue helmets the hidden tesla coils 😎

There's nothing more Bengali than asking when's the food being served

The last soldier is my spirit animal... “ where’s the food”

Everyone: making fun of Bangladeshi vets. Me, a combat vet: Seems normal to me...

As a Bangladeshi I am proud of our peace keepers

They might act and talk like clowns but don't forget that these Bangladeshi troops are the ones that liberated Sierra Leone and played a huge part into making the country into what it is today. P.S- Bangladeshi peacekeepers are the only peacekeepers who are truly respected because they get handed the most dangerous ops out of all the other peacekeepers.

Forward march Everyone do it nicely we're being recorded Me "how do they normally march?"

I am Bangladeshi and the conversations between the soldiers utterly funny, but these soldiers who make us proud and very much grateful to them.

American Troops: pops out a MRE* Bangladesh UN Troops: Pulls out that pot of Chicken biryani B)

As an Indian Bengali I'm understanding the language of the Bangladeshi soldiers.... 😂😂😂😂 and it's beyond funny 😂😂😂 May God protect them... these are good men... dying for someone else's war...

90% of comments are regarding if he asks tell him its chicken

Lmaooo in the intro they thought vice wouldn't translate what they were saying

patrolling the Sahara almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter

Classic VICE piece here. Kudos.

Hi from Bangladesh. My Dad went to peacekeeping missions in Bosnia and Rwanda.

"Serve the food," damn VICE, you interrupted chow time.

Everyone in comments: Everyone making fun of the Bangladeshi troops but... While no one is actually making anyone's fun. Sincerely Proud of my bangladeshi neighbours, love from India

*Bald and Bankrupt:* _Seems nice, let's travel to Mauritania!_

Seems like the NCR is doing a good job patrolling the mojave

"I HATE THE ANTI-CHRIST" *Gets gunned down by UN soldiers*

"Do it Nicely we are Being Recorded" qoute of the day

Imagine that reporter's reaction after that translation of chicken part. Wtf 🐸

Cameraman should be paid more than the Reporter.

Wondering how is it there when there is no camera around them

2:54 as a Bangladeshi, can confirm this is the most Bangladeshi thing available on the web.

As a Bangladeshi, I feel proud of my fellow Bangladeshi brothers. They did their onerous job so delicately in Sierra Leone that Sierra Leone made "Bengali" as second official language.

Proud to be a Bangladeshi 🇧🇩. Actually 2 of my friends are now serving as UN peacekeepers.

"say it's chicken"

"Peace keeping was designed to keep the peace." Wow, that's deep, bro.

"This is the most dangerous time to be here" *takes off helmet*

This is a moment of Pride for BANGLADESH 🇧🇩 and they earned it. Respect from India 🇮🇳

God bless Bangladesh 🇧🇩 from Canada.

Ngl never thought of bangladesh that much but after seeing this, i wanna say these people are brave as hell love to bangladesh from sri lanka 🇱🇰

"If he asks, say it's chicken." I don't think that was chicken.

loved the fish market argue within bangladeshi army.

"everyone do it nicely we are being recorded" lol great vid btw

As a indian Bengali I can understand whole conversation of Bangladeshi army, that was so funny😁 Love for Bangladesh from India.. India & Bangladesh both army r deployed in Africa for peace keeping..

For those who are making jokes on these soldiers, remember they are the one who liberated Sierra Leone and in return and respect, now Bangla Language is second language of Sierra leone. Many of them speak Bangla as well. These Bangladeshi soldiers may look small sized and funny but they are brave enough and do their job better than you. Love🇧🇩

This journalist has a death wish taking his helmet off all the time, especially right after he was told the area he was in was very prone to an ambush

I've served on MINUSTAH peacekeeping mission in Haiti, 2011 and I've done combined Ops with the Bangladeshi, Nepali, Pakistani, Indian troops among many other nations. They're very knowledgeable about military doctrines and procedures, but the chaos and arguments despite the chain of command is something I saw myself. Something that the Force Commander back in 2011 said: " - Attention to details and your behavior when in public. You do not represent yourself, but the flag you bear and the institution you serve for."

As an Indian Bengali understanding their conversation in beginning is really 👌

The guy on the mic says again and again do it properly we are being recorded

2:52 What The commander was saying was : "এটা করার উদ্দেশ্য কি জানো? ওনারা ভিডিও করছে। The reason we are doing this again Because they need to capture it for their news." They only did that sloppy formation for the pose. as they already just finished a very long ass patrol just before this. they were irritated by the tv cameras & journalist.

*Plot Twist at 08:52 Commander: "If He Ask, Say It's Chicken" . Journalist: "What Is This ? Is This Chicken Biryani" . Soldiers: "Yeah, It Is" . Villagers: "Hey Where Is My Sheepherd Dog??"

Good luck Bangladesh...✌🇧🇩✌ From Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦

Huge respect for the men and women serving with the peacekeepers.

Videos like this are the best

Soooo wtf did u eat bruh?

Blue helmets when they find out that IHATETHEANTICHRIST

This land looks like absolute hell. Flat, arid nothingness in every direction. How do these villages even sustain themselves?

Feeling Proud for our Country and for our Military.. they are working for peace.♥️ Long live Bangladesh 🇧🇩

“If he asks say it’s chicken.” Americans in other countries in a nutshell Edit: wow y’all need to go feel some grass, maybe get a job? Do something with your life besides arguing in a RU-vid comment section over a joke

7:13 those who saw the full video its rlly sad how he stayed for his friend till he died

I'm gonna wear full camo, but put a blue helmet on my head and ride around in a giant, white vehicle.

"Cooking it with some Jihadi meat" "Tell him it is Chicken"

“Hey brother they’re filming us” 😂😂

Step 1: Place Tesla Coils (Make them really big)

Show this to someone who asks, "why isnt the UN helping" 😂😂 Dude said "Serve the food!"

*Starts arguing about who can help to serve food* Cameramen: shift attentions to two soldier talking intensively 3rd soldier: dude wtf we filming bros 1st and 2nd soldier shit imma stand in attention *Mr Translator im about to end this man career*

If he asks tell him it's chicken 😂😂 😂

fun fact Bangladesh doesn't send its best troops their but still they do the unimaginable . Cause all of them trained hard and has spirits harder than a mountain rock.

Chicken biryani in a hostile area

I remember my dad went from the side of Indian Army though he never returned and know my brother has joined from the side of Indian special forces.

Lmao they gave you a helmet for a reason press guy

Everyone is making fun of our country's army. Mostly Indians. They hardly keep track of their own army. We are helping Sierra Leone with this army, we helped Libya, Palestine, Africa and Qatar, and it is for this army that Saudi looks at us. And they are having fun with language skills. People are judging by language. And no one is right in such a hot environment, you can make fun of them sitting at home, but few people have the ability to stand in their place. And many Europeans don't know what biryani is. So told him it was chicken. And Biryani is not cooked with duck. Learn to respect others. Allah Akbar(Allah is the greatest).

Teacher when the principle comes in the classroom *Yo guys act normal face forward we're being recorded*

THIS IS VICE. Keep it going

Shows how much a collapse of one country affects the entire region. Example here is Libya 🇱🇾 where they overthrew strongman Gaddafi in 2011 which had entirely collpased the entire region with ISIS fighters and instability. Guard your own states people. That's the only ground you have don't let any outsiders to play games in your soil.

Hey brothers I am from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩 and I am very proud for BD army.Salute them for keeping peace 🥰🥰

My brother was a Peacekeeper in Cyrus. He died when he was 24 in a car crash. Rest In Peace; gone too soon.

"No man's land" is right. Apparently nobody wants it.

Tesla coils...

UN: “Let’s wear camo so that our enemies can’t see us!” *Wearing bright blue helmets, that can be seen from miles away*

The people who mocked Bangladeshi army actually doesn’t know the depth of the situation . They are both fighting Against proper ration and terrorism, in spite of they are only peacekeepers not military who will fight against those terrorists. It's the duty of UN who sends them as a peacekeepers, they need to provide proper equipment and ration to operate them effectively in this dangerous area. Bangladesh peacekeepers have a good Reputations all of african disturbed / previously disturbed area for their sincerity. If anyone has no idea please check it properly before making any comments. And the chicken comment is nothing but a language barrier 🤣🤣🤣, generally biriyani is made with chicken /mutton/ sometimes beef. they just try to provide the meat information if they asked, nothing else 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Somepeople actually does get the context along with VICE 🤣🤣🤣 We lost many of our soldiers in those peacekeeping programmes 😢😢, they are sacrificing a lot. We don't want to loose any of our soldiers. 😢 Hope they will come back to home without any harm ❤❤ Bangladesh army, the pride of Bangladesh ❤❤

I'll let y'all wonder why this comment is 3.7k likes

Get the Tesla coils

2:34 "Everyone, properly position your weapons BECAUSE we are being recorded on video." LMAOOOOO. I love how their biggest concern was looking good on video.

“Be good cameras are here” *chaos ensues

We shouldn't make fun of them, as we can only imagine what they are facing , my respect to Bangladeshi troops from 🇮🇳

very happy to see bangladeshi soldiers.... love from India 🇧🇩💝🇮🇳
