UN renews Ivory Coast mandate
Independent Online – Jun 25, 2005
The head of the UN mission in Ivory Coast, Pierre Schori, said on Thursday he needed more reinforcements than that because simmering violence in the west of the country and the forthcoming election campaign before an October poll threatened to become more than his force could handle. The council’s resolution authorised sending 850 extra military personnel and 375 more civilian police, taking that contingent up to 725. It also included provisions for UN peacekeepers stationed in Liberia and Sierra Leone to co-operate with the Ivory Coast force and if necessary operate across the borders under certain conditions. The council also extended the mandate of the mission for seven months to January 24 2006. Ivory Coast rebels seized the north of the former French colony in a civil war that came after a failed coup against President Laurent Gbagbo in 2002. Thousands have been killed in the conflict, which has threatened regional turmoil.
Slaves going west passed missionaries

An example of perils facing such missionaries was provided by the Rev. Kumler, my great-grandfather, during his visit to Sierra Leone in 1855, when he wrote: “Eight persons in the course of one year have lost their lives.
The UN in the Throes of Crisis
American Daily – Jun 25, 2005
The UN has evolved into a thoroughly decadent institution, rife with malfeasance and incompetence, which: 1) has failed to prevent genocides in Rwanda and Sudan during this past decade; 2) does nothing to rein-in corrupt UN peacekeepers that have involved themselves in human trafficking (victims reportedly from Bosnia, Romania, Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus and other former Soviet states) and sexual assaults in the Congo and elsewhere in Africa; 3) permits tyrannical regimes to utilize the UN as a forum to spout anti-American and anti-Semitic claptrap; 4) makes a mockery of human rights by assigning despotic and abusive regimes as members of the UN Human Rights Commission (i. Libya, Sudan, Uganda, Sierra Leone, Togo, Syria, Algeria, Saudi Arabia and Vietnam); 5) does virtually nothing to promote democracy; 6) does virtually nothing to combat the awful problem of worldwide terrorism; 7) refuses to enforce its own resolutions, as seen most notably in the case of Saddamâs Iraq; 
exhibits little respect for national sovereignty; and, 9) seeks the authority to engage in global taxation (i. tax on emails, Internet use, international airline travel, fossil fuels such as gasoline, coal, oil, etc. ) to fill its empty coffers. And these are only the most glaring of the UNâs reprehensible actions.
