UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres warned against further cuts to the UN peacekeeping mission in Democratic Republic of Congo. He said that a dangerous political standoff over elections is still unresolved in that country. <br/><br/>Mr. Guterres told the Security Council that more cost-cutting could hamstring the 18,000-strong MONUSCO force in its efforts to prevent a collapse of the vast, mineral-rich African country. In a 27-page strategic review of MONUSCO, the UN's largest and most expensive mission, Mr. Guterres said the force was streamlining operations after the peacekeeping budget was cut.
