UN Says Its Peacekeepers Ready for Full Withdrawal From Mali
10:13 01.01.2024 (Updated: 10:30 01.01.2024) The withdrawal of the peacekeepers was to be completed by December 31, 2023, after the UN Security Council unanimously passed a resolution on June 30 to end the peacekeeping mission in the West African country at the request of the Malian government.
The UN stabilization mission in Mali (MINUSMA) is on the verge of completing its withdrawal from the West African country, the UN said in a statement.
The organization added that the liquidation phase of MINUSMA begins on Monday, with a small team remaining to oversee the transport and disposal of UN-owned equipment.
After the withdrawal, however, UN programs will continue to
operate in the West African country, MINUSMA head, El Ghassim Wane claimed.
"UN funds, agencies and programs were in Mali well before the deployment of MINUSMA and will stay in Mali well after the withdrawal," he said.
Last week, the peacekeepers
left their base in the Timbuktu region, in the central part of the country and handed it over to the Malian authorities.
The mission was established by a UN Security Council resolution in 2013 to support the Malian authorities to strengthen security on its territory.
In June, the government declared that MINUSMA's ten-year presence in the country had failed to adequately address the security situation and contributed to escalating tensions.
