UNITED NATIONS, United States, June 29, (APP/AFP) – The UN Security
Council on Thursday agreed to a major drawdown of the peacekeeping mission in Darfur as part of a US-led drive to trim hundreds of millions of dollars from the UN budget.
The council voted unanimously to approve a British-drafted resolution
that would cut the number of troops and police serving in the joint African Union-UN mission known as UNAMID by at least 30 percent.
