UN to expand role

    ABIDJAN
    United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan recommended in his latest report to the Security Council on Tuesday a six-month extension of the UN Observer Mission in Sierra Leone (UNOMSIL). “The recent political developments, including the signing of a ceasefire agreement and the start of the dialogue, have significant implications for the work of UNOMSIL,” Annan said. He recommended the mandate be extended until 13 December and expressed hope that by that date he would be able to suggest an expanded mandate to implement a peace agreement.
