The Bundeswehr will remain in Mali until 2024. The Chancellery agreed on this with the ministries. From 2023, a plan for “entry to exit” is to be formulated.
The federal government initially wants to continue the deployment of German soldiers in West African Mali, but also wants to pursue a concrete plan for the withdrawal. According to information from the German Press Agency, it was agreed at a top-level meeting between the Chancellery and the ministries on Tuesday to formulate a mandate for the deployment until 2024, but to start with an “entry into the exit” from next year. A full withdrawal will take about a year, according to previous estimates by military planners.

Recently there had been repeated disputes between the military rulers in Mali and the UN mission Minusma, for which Germany provides soldiers.
