PRAGUE (AP) — The Czech defense minister is pledging to offer a quick response to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's appeal for troops to bolster the planned U.N peacekeeping mission in the Central African Republic.
Martin Stropnicky says Ban has asked for a field hospital and transport aircraft. Stropnicky promised an answer in a few days. Ban told reporters in Prague on Friday he was "deeply troubled by the appalling atrocities against the civilians," but did not publicly discuss troops.
The U.N. Security Council will vote on a U.N. peacekeeping force in April. Ban has urged council members to act quickly on his recommendation for a 12,000-member peacekeeping mission in the Central African Republic, which has faced months of sectarian violence.
