I haven’t had the time to do much blogging lately, and i still don’t, but this is kind of relevant. Kofi Annan recommends sending a force of 2000 peacekeepers to Timor-Leste. In practice, this means instigating a new peacekeeping (PK) mission in the country, in a new attempt to keep some stability in the place.

“Annan, in a report to the 15-nation UN security council, recommended up to 1,608 police officers and 350 soldiers for the new mission, which he said should be given an initial one-year mandate.” I guess this could be Mr. Annan’s way of saying that maybe it wasn’t such a great idea to end the previous PK mission to Timor-Leste in May 2005 after all.
