TL;DR Summary

Germany has rejected Mali's military junta's request for the United Nations peacekeeping force to leave the country "without delay," calling it politically motivated. Berlin still aims for an orderly withdrawal of its troops by May 2024. Mali's interim military authorities made the request on Friday, citing a "crisis of confidence" between Malian authorities and the decade-long UN mission known as MINUSMA. MINUSMA was deployed by the UN Security Council in 2013 to support foreign and local efforts to restore stability.
