Intervention and peace-building in Mali

May 1, 2013

The countdown has started for the deployment in July of some 12,000 UN troops and police to Mali - the latest step in international efforts to wrest control of its restive north from Islamists.

French soldiers patrol in the Terz valley, about 60 km (37 miles) south of the town of Tessalit in northern Mali, March 21, 2013. France has deployed some 4,000 troops to Mali, alongside a regional African force, in a nine-week operation that has driven Islamists into desert hideaways and mountains near the Algerian border.
