French U.N. Ambassador: Annan's successor to be announced Monday or Tuesday

French U.N. Ambassador Gerard Araud, president of the Security Council this month, told reporters UN Chief Ban Ki-Moon was expected to make an announcement about Kofi Annan's successor on Monday or Tuesday after consulting with Arab League Chief Nabil Elaraby.

Annan, a former U.N. secretary-general and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, said he would step down on Aug. 31 because he was not able to carry out his job with the U.N. Security Council's veto powers hopelessly divided and deadlocked.

There are no signs that Brahimi will get his wish anytime soon, if at all. The divisions on the Security Council - above all the split between the United States and Russia - run deep.
