The war in Lebanon and Israel's attacks against the Sassari Brigade bases.
According to former Chief of Defense Staff Vincenzo Camporini, "the Unifil mission must not demobilize. The Sassari Brigade plays an essential role." Camporini adds that "the military, on the field under the aegis of the UN, must continue to monitor, as much as possible, the situation without, of course, getting involved."
And on the risks associated with a possible demobilization: «We risk having a situation without international control with forms of violence much more serious than the current ones».
On the state of mind of the Sassari people, Camporini explains: «They are very prepared. I believe they are calm even in a context of “warfare”. It is the state of mind of a soldier who does his duty, on the basis of a UN mandate, aware of the importance of his role».
