The United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali, known as MINUSMA, was established in 2013 to support the West African nation in stabilizing its security situation. The mission aims to protect civilians, assist in the political process, and promote human rights while helping to restore peace and stability in the region. MINUSMA operates in a challenging environment, facing threats from various armed groups and ongoing violence. The mission works closely with the Malian government, regional organizations, and local communities to foster dialogue and build a sustainable peace, contributing to the overall stability of Mali and the Sahel region.
