was struggling to regain control from a rebellious lot known as the Tuaregs in 2012, the EU sent 600 soldiers from 28 member-states and non-member-states, to train and fight along with Mali’s army against the terrorists.
The suspension comes after the United States had withdrawn its military cooperation in Mali in the wake of the military takeover. The move followed several mediation efforts by the regional bloc led by Nigeria’s former president Goodluck Jonathan, to stop the unrest that began earlier this year when the opposition held protests against the ousted President for what they called an inept rule.
