Liberia Peacekeeping contingent in Mali scheduled to Return this Thursday

Monrovia, Liberia – The Liberian government, through the Armed Forces of Liberia, has begun repatriating its peacekeeping troops from Mali. The repatriation is part of ending Liberia’s peacekeeping, which is missing in that African nation.

According to the Armed Forces of Liberia, the withdrawal of the Liberian contingent from the UN Multi-dimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) brings a total of 10 years of successful missions.

AFL Director of Peacekeeping Operations, Major Zachaeus Musgrove, said the arrival of the last batch of troops on Thursday, December 14, marks the end of the Liberia Peacekeeping mission to Mali.

According to Major Musgrove, Liberia will only have military observers in Sudan, including the Democratic Republic of the Congo. One aspect of Liberia’s efforts to maintain peace throughout Africa and throughout the world is its military presence in these nations.

Liberia is a part of numerous international organisations, such as the United Nations and ECOWAS, that promote peace and stability globally. It is commonly known that throughout its fourteen-year civil war, which came to a close in 2003, Liberia benefited from peacekeeping operations.
