联合国秘书长潘基文：需在马里部署两支维和部队 UN's Ban to Ask for 2 Separate Forces for Mali

联合国秘书长潘基文说，需要在马里分别部署两支维护部队，才能维持和平局面和应对重大战事。

美国之音得到了准备呈交联合国安理会的一份报告文本。潘基文在报告中说，由1万1千人组成的维和部队最终将接替起初由非洲国家领导的维和部队。潘基文表示，由于马里仍然面临威胁，必须由另一支维和部队应对重大战事并执行反恐行动。

法国军队今年1月进驻马里，驱逐伊斯兰极端分子。去年，伊斯兰极端分子夺取了马里北部的控制权。


United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says two separate peacekeeping forces will be needed in Mali to keep peace and take on any major combat.

In an advance copy of a report to be presented to the Security Council and obtained by VOA, Mr. Ban says an 11,000-member peacekeeping force eventually would take over the mission from an initial African-led force. He says because of the threat that remains in Mali, there must also be what he calls a "parallel force" to carry out major combat and counterterrorism duties.

French forces entered Mali in January to drive out Islamic extremists who seized control of the north last year.
