Mogae courts UN Security Council for support

He wants the international agency to be in support of his efforts to restore peace and stability in the embattled and newly-formed state.

Mogae made the plea in a videoconference address to the council on Friday where he also updated on his progress and challenges.  Mogae informed the council that the progress made to date has been limited, and lags far behind the timetables specified in the peace agreement, and in subsequent arrangements between the parties.
