Mali crisis: UN peacekeepers are leaving after 10 years – what's needed for a smooth transition

Over 11,000 military personnel from 53 countries are expected to leave the country by 31 December 2023.

Key Points: 
  • Over 11,000 military personnel from 53 countries are expected to leave the country by 31 December 2023.
  • Minusma was first deployed in Mali in April 2013 to support the country’s political process and help restore peace and stability.
  • In mid-2012, the north of the country was under the control of terrorist groups.
  • In my view, for Mali to make a peaceful transition to democracy, two key elements are needed.

What’s needed

    • Mali has had measures in place for the withdrawal of UN troops since a new government took over after the 2020 coup.
    • The National Transitional Council approved the creation of a war school in September 2021 to strengthen the national security apparatus and train future army cadres.
    • The intention was to replace foreign troops with local ones in the event of a withdrawal.
    • Delivering this requires government measures that restore security throughout the country, foster national reconciliation and promote good governance.

Why this matters

    • It could also complicate dialogue and negotiation efforts with ex-rebels.
    • A loss of support and commitment from the international community could lead to a reduction in financial aid and political support in the fight against insecurity.
    • This would have a direct impact on the country’s – and Sahel region’s – stability.
