"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.
