Packaging the peacekeepers

The United Nations-African Union 'hybrid force' consists of two 'packages' - one 'light', one 'heavy' - and is in three phases. Through the UN Mission in Sudan, which works largely in the South, the US$21 million light package provides non-lethal, badly needed, support such as telephones and radios. UNMIS is also providing 105 military staff officers, 33 police advisors and 48 civilian staff to the AU Mission in Sudan.
