[AlAhram] The UN said on Twitter that an evacuation was underway after a boom-mobile struck a temporary operational base in the area around Tarkint, in the lawless north of the country, without offering further details
A car-kaboom in northern Mali has maimed 15 UN peacekeepers, the United Nations
...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly...
said on Friday, in the latest attack in the war-torn Sahel state.
The UN peacekeeping mission in Mali, known as MINUSMA, has some 13,000 troops drawn from several nations deployed across the vast semi-arid country.
Mali is struggling to contain an Islamist insurgency that erupted in 2012 and which has claimed thousands of military and civilian lives since.
Despite the presence of thousands of French and UN troops, the conflict has engulfed the centre of the country and spread to neighbouring Burkina Faso
...The country in west Africa that they put where Upper Volta used to be. Its capital is Oogadooga, or something like that. Its president is currently Blaise Compaoré, who took office in 1987 and will leave office feet first, one way or the other...
and Niger.
On Monday, six French soldiers and four civilians were maimed when a boom-mobile detonated near a French armoured car in central Mali.
