UN peacekeepers are due to finish their withdrawal from Mali on Sunday, after a long-running mission lasting a decade.
Minusma – the Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission – began in 2013 after an armed rebellion, but has been asked to leave by the country’s ruling military government.
The UN mission’s head said it did a lot but fell below expectations.
With some 310 peacekeepers killed, Minusma was the UN’s second deadliest mission worldwide, after Lebanon.
