Security Council team expected

    NAIROBI

    Meanwhile, Bangladesh's ambassador to the UN, Anwarul Karim Chowdhury, on Friday said a Security Council mission was expected to travel to the DRC by early May. Council members wanted to see first-hand how the operations were going, a UN statement quoted him as saying at a UN Headquarters press
    briefing at the end of his month-long presidency of the Council. The members "wanted to send a strong message to the parties concerned: cease hostilities and engage in bringing back law and order," the statement said.
