OTTAWA — The Canadian Forces’ peacekeeping mission in Mali is going to last a little longer than previously planned — but not as long as the United Nations hoped.
Global Affairs Canada said Friday that operations will wind down after July 31 and gradually be restricted to only medical evacuations until Aug. 31. Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan insisted the announcement doesn’t mean the government is extending the mission. Sajjan told reporters “troops on the ground will always have that medical evacuation” through the transition, but not cargo transport.
