US EditionU.N. peacekeepers in Mali withdraw from two bases in the north as fighting intensifies
- United Nations peacekeepers are being forced to withdraw from northern Mali due to increasing insecurity and attacks by Islamic extremists. The peacekeepers are departing from two bases in the Kidal region, Tessalit and Aguelhok, in an effort to complete their departure quickly.
- The withdrawal of the peacekeepers marks a breakdown of a 2015 peace agreement between the government and rebels who once sought to create the state of Azawad. Violence is rising between ethnic Tuareg rebels and Mali's military, with rebels recently capturing another military base.
- The situation in Mali has become one of the most dangerous U.N. Missions, with over 150 peacekeepers killed since their deployment in 2013. Islamic extremist attacks, linked to al-Qaida and the Islamic State group, have further destabilized the country.
