Security Council meets

    NAIROBI

    The UN Security Council on Friday held closed consultations to hear a briefing by the Assistant Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations Hedi Annabi on the situation in the DRC, a statement from the Council said. UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan has recommended that the UN's mission in the DRC be expanded to over 5,500 personnel in all. Some Council members have requested further "clarification" of the expansion
    plans. The text of the draft resolution on expanding the UN mission has been circulated among Council members and a vote on the topic could take place this week. The Council was due to hold informal consultations on the DRC on Monday.
