UNITED NATIONS, Jumada II 05, 1436, March 25, 2015, SPA -- The United Nations Security Council on Thursday is expected to adopt a resolution that would authorize more than 1,000 additional military and police personnel for the peacekeeping mission in the Central African Republic. The draft resolution obtained by The Associated Press follows up on a request by the U.N. secretary-general in January for another 1,030 peacekeepers to help bring unprecedented violence under control outside the capital, Bangui. The draft would authorize another 750 military personnel and 280 police personnel, as well as 20 corrections officers. The originally authorized U.N. peacekeeping force in Central African Republic has not yet fully deployed and remains at about 80 percent of its planned strength. --SPA 11:42 LOCAL TIME 08:42 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
