Mali Withdraws From Regional Anti-jihadist Force

Summary by Ground News

Mali says it is withdrawing from a west African force fighting jihadists to protest its being rejected as head of the G5 regional group. The G5 Sahel was created in 2014 and its anti-jihadist force launched in 2017. A conference of heads of state scheduled for February 2022 in Bamako had been due to mark the start of the Malian presidency. But nearly four months after the mandate indicated this meeting has still not taken place.
