Mali calls UN Minusma peacekeeping force to end immediately

The UN should “without delay” remove its peacekeeping mission from Mali, according to the country’s foreign minister.

The force, Minusma, was charged by Abdoulaye Diop of “becoming a part of the problem in fostering intercommunal tensions.” Speaking before the UN Security Council.

There are more than 13,000 soldiers in Minusma. Its ten-year objective to halt the rise of extremist violence has fallen short.

Now assisting Mali’s military authorities are Russian Wagner mercenaries.
