UNITED NATIONS: The United Nations Security Council on Wednesday added just over 2,500 peacekeepers to the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Mali, which has been hit by a series of deadly attacks and become the deadliest place to serve for soldiers donning blue helmets.
The French-drafted resolution, which was approved unanimously by the 15-nation council, said the Mali peacekeeping mission (MINUSMA) should “take all necessary means to carry out its mandate ... (and) to move to a more proactive and robust posture.”
