Germany has resumed reconnaissance patrols in eastern Mali as part of a UN peacekeeping mission known as MINUSMA, after suspending the operations last month when the Malian government denied flyover rights.
The military in a statement said that a unit that recently arrived in Gao, “was now fully ready to work, and had taken over the task of securing the camp”.
On August the 12th, the defense ministry said it had suspended reconnaissance and related operations after Mali’s ruling junta denied permission for flights to support personnel rotation under the UN’s MINUSMA mission.
