(Own report) - Following the coup in Mali, politicians in Berlin are pushing to enhance the influence of Germany and the EU in the Sahel. Brussels should be engaged "more vigorously for the security in West Africa," admonished CDU/CSU Defense Policy Spokesperson in the Bundestag Henning Otte. The Bundestag had already approved an increase in personnel for the training units in Mali. German troops in northern Mali will be provided with an additional drone. France seeks also to commit more troops. The Sahel s increasing militarization has led to a constantly growing number of civilians being killed by regular soldiers. While the EU is training Mali s armed forces, Malian soldiers are massacring villagers. The coup itself is the result of a dynamic stemming from the population s indignation toward the corruption of Mali s elites, who are cooperating with European powers. This development is quite similar to that in Afghanistan.
