Security Council votes to end UN mission in Chad and Central African Republic
The Security Council today voted to end the United Nations peacekeeping mission in Chad and the Central African Republic by the end of the year, with a military withdrawal starting this week, after the Government requested the move despite concerns that it could impair aid to some 430,000 people.
The United Nations Security Council on Wednesday called on all parties to take action in order to ensure a peaceful referendum next January on southern Sudan.
