UN Says it Needs More Troops, Equipment in Mali After Recent Attacks
18th October 2013
Since the French-led intervention in Mali began at the beginning of the year Islamist and Tuareg rebels have been pushed back by the French and their allies and Malians voted in a presidential election which, according to the International Center for Counterterrorism, was carried out “without significant violent disturbances.” The intervention has, it seems, been largely successful in ridding Mali of Islamists and displacing Tuareg rebels.
However, there hasn’t been a cholera epidemic, so obviously the U.N. mission is far from over.
