RWANDA: Mali Lobbies Rwanda On UN Peacekeeping
Mission
MALI'S FOREIGN Affairs minister Tieman Coulibaly has
appealed to Rwanda to use her influence at the United Nations (UN) to push for
a resolution that would put international troops helping Mali to restore peace
under the direct command of the UN.

around 4,000 French soldiers and 6,000 AFISMA troops is currently operating in
Mali but the French are supposed to pull out of the mission next month, leaving
the peace-keeping task in the hands of AFISMA Minister Coulibaly, who was on a
one-day working visit to Rwanda yesterday.
