"UN Concludes Mali Peacekeeping Mission, Celebrates Achievements and Transfers Timbuktu Camp"

The United Nations has announced the completion of its peacekeeping mission withdrawal from Mali, known as MINUSMA, amid concerns that the departure could lead to increased conflict in the region. The mission, established in 2013 to stabilize Mali after a separatist rebellion and coup, is leaving behind a small team to manage asset transportation and disposal. Despite the withdrawal, other UN agencies will continue their presence in Mali, which has been a focal point for a spreading violent movement in West Africa.

"Mali's FAMA Takes Control of Timbuktu UN Camp as MINUSMA Withdraws Early"

The United Nations Stabilisation Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) has officially handed over its camp in Timbuktu to the Malian Armed Forces (FAMA) as part of the mission's liquidation process, which includes transferring equipment and terminating contracts. This move comes ahead of MINUSMA's final withdrawal, mandated by the UN Security Council to be completed by December 31, following a demand by Mali's ruling colonels for the mission's departure. The handover occurs amidst a challenging security situation in the region, characterized by jihadist attacks and military tensions.

"UN Peacekeeping Mission in Mali Concludes After 10 Years"

The United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) has officially ended its 10-year deployment in the country, as ordered by Mali's military government. The withdrawal of MINUSMA troops has raised concerns about increased fighting between Malian forces and armed groups. The mission had maintained around 15,000 soldiers and police in Mali, with over 10,500 personnel already withdrawn. The exit comes amidst ongoing instability in the country, with thousands killed and hundreds of thousands displaced by violence. Mali's government has shifted alliances, favoring closer ties with Russia and the private army Wagner Group, drawing condemnation from Western countries.

Mali terminates UN peacekeeping mission, boosting Wagner's influence

The UN Security Council has unanimously voted to terminate the UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) and transfer security responsibilities to Mali's transitional government. The mission will begin drawing down its presence on Saturday and completely withdraw from Mali by January 1, 2024. The UN Secretary-General called for the transitional government's cooperation in ensuring an orderly and safe withdrawal. However, concerns have been raised about the reduced financial commitment for the drawdown process. The withdrawal comes amid a fragile security situation in the Sahel region, and some Council members have expressed the need to address the presence of armed actors. Mali's government has pledged full support and will work to protect civilians across the country.

Mali demands immediate withdrawal of UN peacekeeping forces

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.

Mali demands UN peacekeeping mission withdrawal.

Mali's foreign minister has called for the immediate withdrawal of the UN peacekeeping force, Minusma, accusing it of fueling intercommunal tensions. The force has failed to stop the spread of jihadist violence in the country. Russian Wagner mercenaries are now assisting Mali's military rulers, and Western officials have accused Wagner of human rights abuses. The Malian government has also objected to France's long-standing involvement in the country. The UN chief has recommended that the mission be reconfigured to focus on a few limited priorities.

Mali demands immediate withdrawal of UN peacekeeping mission.

Mali's interim military authorities have asked the United Nations peacekeeping force, MINUSMA, to leave "without delay" due to a "crisis of confidence" between Malian authorities and the U.N. mission. The request marks a major turning point for the West African country, which has struggled to stem an Islamist insurgency that took root following an uprising in 2012. MINUSMA was deployed by the U.N. Security Council in 2013 to support foreign and local efforts to restore stability. The junta has burnt bridges with traditional Western allies and turned to Russia for help boosting its military capabilities.
