Question: When was Eritea annexed by the country contributing the most troops to the peacekeeping mission of the organization formulating multiple regional divisions as is convenient for its various operations?

The United Nations formulates multiple regional divisions as is convenient for its various operations. But few of them include a Near East, and that poorly defined. UNICEF recognizes the "Middle East and North Africa" region, where the Middle East is bounded by the Red Sea on the west and includes Iran on the east. UNESCO recognizes neither a Near East nor a Middle East, dividing the countries instead among three regions: Arab States, Asia and the Pacific, and Africa. Its division "does not forcibly reflect geography" but "refers to the execution of regional activities." The United Nations Statistics Division defines Western Asia to contain the countries included elsewhere in the Middle East. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) describes its entire theatre of operations as the Near East, but then assigns many of its members to other regions as well; for example, Cyprus, Malta and Turkey are in both the European and the Near Eastern regions. Its total area extends further into Central Asia than that of most agencies. <SEP> As of 29 February 2016, 124 countries were contributing a total of 105,314 personnel in Peacekeeping Operations, with Ethiopia leading the tally (8,324), followed by India (7,695) and Bangladesh (7,525). In June 2013. Pakistan contributed the highest number overall with 8,186 personnel, followed by India (7,878), Bangladesh (7,799), Ethiopia (6,502), Rwanda (4,686), Nigeria (4,684), Nepal (4,495), Jordan (3,374), Ghana (2,859), and Egypt (2,750). As of 28 February 2015, 120 countries were contributing a total of 104,928 personnel in Peacekeeping Operations, with Bangladesh leading the tally (9446). As of March 2008, in addition to military and police personnel, 5,187 international civilian personnel, 2,031 UN Volunteers and 12,036 local civilian personnel worked in UN peacekeeping missions. <SEP> the one-way communication delay due to the speed of light ranges from about 3 minutes at closest approach (approximated by perihelion of mars minus aphelion of earth) to 22 minutes at the largest possible superior conjunction (approximated by aphelion of mars plus aphelion of earth). real-time communication, such as telephone conversations or internet relay chat, between earth and mars would be highly impractical due to the long time lags involved. nasa has found that direct communication can be blocked for about two weeks every synodic period, around the time of superior conjunction when the sun is directly between mars and earth, although the actual duration of the communications blackout varies from mission to mission depending on various factors—such as the amount of link margin designed into the communications system, and the minimum data rate that is acceptable from a mission standpoint. in reality most missions at mars have had communications blackout periods of the order of a month.a satellite at the l4 or l5 earth–sun lagrangian point could serve as a relay during this period to solve the problem; even a constellation of communications satellites would be a minor expense in the context of a full colonization program. however, the size and power of the equipment needed for these distances make the l4 and l5 locations unrealistic for relay stations, and the inherent stability of these regions, although beneficial in terms of station-keeping, also attracts dust and asteroids, which could pose a risk. despite that concern, the stereo probes passed through the l4 and l5 regions without damage in late 2009. <SEP> the russian airborne troops or vdv (from "vozdushno-desantnye voyska rossii", russian: воздушно-десантные войска россии, вдв; air-landing forces) is a military branch of the armed forces of the russian federation. first formed before world war ii, the force undertook two significant airborne operations and a number of smaller jumps during the war and for many years after 1945 was the largest airborne force in the world. the force was split after the dissolution of the soviet union, losing divisions to belarus and ukraine, and has been reduced in size. <SEP> During the Middle Ages, the Eritrea region was known as Medri Bahri ("sea-land"). The name Eritrea is derived from the ancient Greek name for Red Sea (Ἐρυθρὰ Θάλασσα Erythra Thalassa, based on the adjective ἐρυθρός erythros "red"). Eritrea was annexed by Ethiopia in 1953 (nominally within a federation until 1962) and an Eritrean Liberation Front formed in 1960. It was first formally adopted in 1890, with the formation of Italian Eritrea (Colonia Eritrea). The territory became the Eritrea Governorate within Italian East Africa in 1936. Eritrea gained independence following the 1993 referendum, and the name of the new state was defined as State of Eritrea in the 1997 constitution. [citation needed]
