PATRICK CAMMAERT (Congo, 2005)

Few Dutch have a more powerful role on the international stage than Patrick Cammaert. The Major General of the Marines was commander of the battalion of Dutch Marines in Cambodia and was Assistant Chief of Staff of UNPROFOR in Bosnia. After a command in Ethiopia he climbed to the position of First Advisor to Kofi Annan. In 2005 he was appointed as commander of the eastern division of the UN mission in the Congo, which is to establish peace and stability in a region where the chronic civil war has claimed millions of victims. The Dutch photographer covered Cammaert’s mission in the Congo.
