United Nations peacekeepers have a tough job, and the coronavirus is making it much tougher. Effective peacekeeping requires detailed information about rebel movements, troop levels and other ground-level conditions.

All of these activities require detailed knowledge of conditions on the ground, both to enable them to effectively keep the peace and to ensure their safety.
