Proposed resolution to add troops in Congo
Agreement provides fewer troops than requested,
hut allows for reevaluation in six months
BY EDITH M. LEDERER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
UNITED NATIONS — France intro
duced a Security Council resolution
Thursday that would increase the U.N.
force in Congo by 5,900 troops, less
than half the amount requested by
U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan.
The draft resolution, backed by
the United States and Britain, would
reinforce the 10,800-strong U.N.
force in Congo. It would also
give peacekeepers a broader
mandate to deploy to potentially
volatile areas to deter the use of
force, seize illegal arms and protect
civilians “under imminent threat of
physical violence.”
U.S. deputy ambassador Stuart Hol
liday said the sponsors “will be look
ing toward a vote” on Friday, when the
force’s current mandate expires.
In a report to the Security Council
last month, Annan said the transition
to peace in Congo is at “a critical
juncture.” He called for the U.N.
force to be more than doubled to
23,900 troops to support the coun
try’s fragile peace process and move
toward free elections in 2005.
But the United States, Britain
and France — which pay a signifi
cant chunk of U.N. peacekeeping
costs — decided on a smaller num
ber and to re-evaluate the situation
in six months.
The draft resolution would author
ize an increase of 5,900 troops,
including 341 international police of
ficers, and call for “the rapid deploy
ment” of additional forces and logis
tics support to North and South Kivu
in volatile eastern Congo.
Four new battalions, totaling about
3,550 troops, are earmarked for the
two border provinces. Pakistan’s
U.N. Ambassador Munir Akram said
his country, which already has a
large contingent in Congo, would be
providing two of the new battalions.
A June uprising in South Kivu
launched the most serious military
threat to Congo’s transitional gov
ernment since the end of the
country’s devastating 1998-2002
war that claimed more than 3 mil
lion lives and involved six African
nations. The clashes displaced thou
sands and heightened tensions with
Congo’s neighbor and wartime ene
my, Rwanda.
A new divisional headquarters in
Kisangani, a northeastern city on
the banks of the Congo River, is ex
pected to be established much clos
er to the fighting than the capital,
Kinshasa. Diplomats said the idea
would be to keep a rapid reaction
force at the divisional base that
could deploy quickly.
