            AFAIK yes, I read somewhere else there will also be additional UN (African) peacekeepers (ca. 1000?)
            Here's the press release.

            "1. Authorizes the deployment until 1 September 2003 of an Interim Emergency Multinational Force in Bunia in close coordination with MONUC, in particular its contingent currently deployed in the town, to contribute to the stabilization of the security conditions and the improvement of the humanitarian situation in Bunia, to ensure the protection of the airport, the internally displaced persons in the camps in Bunia and, if the situation requires it, to contribute to the safety of the civilian population, United Nations personnel and the humanitarian presence in the town;"

            "“4. Authorizes the Member States participating in the Interim Emergency Multinational Force in Bunia to take all necessary measures to fulfil its mandate;"

                1400.
                As planned, a way too small force. They'll be probably able to secure a town or to protect humanitarian food, but they have no chance to stabilize the country

                  We need 250,000 troops but there's only the US and Britain who can do that, and we have the war on terrorism to fight.

                      Thx colon, didn´t know that.

                      But it seems strange just to sit in the town - I mean those militias will probably be a bit flexible, and kill civilians at other locations - what then?

                        Read my previous post. I think the basic idea is to create a safe haven in the area, which could be very valuable to refugees and also in order to ship humanitarian aid into the region.

                                Good thing , even if more troops would be needed.

                                Go peacekeepers
