The Federal Government wants to continue the deployment of Bundeswehr in Mali in a modified form: In Berlin, the ministers agreed on a new mandate for German participation in the UN stabilisation mission MINUSMA. The focus of the European training mission EUTM, on the other hand, will no longer be in Mali, but in Niger. Before the debate in the German Bundestag, German newspaper Frankfurter Rundschau spoke with Andrea Steinke, CHA research fellow, about how the mandate of an international mission in Mali can be fulfilled.
