GERMANY is set to pull out of the United Nations peacekeeping mission in Mali, according to government sources.
The source said: “By the end of 2023 at the latest, German soldiers are to end their involvement in the UN blue helmet mission.”
It comes as Britain and the Ivory Coast announced earlier this week they would be withdrawing their troops from the United Nations Multidimentional Integrated Stabilisation Mission in Mali.
