German parliament extends Sudan mandate for another six months

German legislators voted in favor of extending Germany's participation in the UN's Sudan Mandate (UNMIS) for another six months, DPA/Irna reported Friday.

A number of 78 German military monitors and soldiers are taking part in the UN mission of whom there are presently only 28 observers in Sudan.

Post-World War II German troops had never been deployed in the African Continent before the Sudan peace mission.
