Ivory Coast Republican Forces (FRCI) soldiers of the logistics battalion, part of the African-led International Support Mission to Mali (AFISMA - MISMA in French), gather before leaving Ivory Coast's army headquarters in Abidjan on May 2, 2013 for Bamako, Mali. The UN Security Council on April 25, 2013 unanimously agreed to send a 12,600-member international force to Mali to take over from French and African troops battling Islamist guerrillas. The United Nations is aiming for a July 1 start by the new force, but the 15-nation council will decide later whether the conflict has eased enough for the handover.
