Bangladesh’s peacekeeping mission in Mali: Lessons for the international community

While Mali has stepped into an enormous strategic trap due to regional geopolitics, global geoeconomics, extremism, and political instability; necessity for engagement of the Bangladeshi troops’ will continue to grow, and it will remain as a power base for the international community in delivering peace
Let me start by saying that Mali, at the moment, is considered as the most ominous and dangerous country in the world for any UN peacekeepers. It is so dangerous that even the Malian citizens are sceptical about the term ‘peace’ as the humanitarian crisis has become chronic, with an unprecedented level of violence and insecurity continues to escalate.
