MOPTI The long barrel of a howitzer cannon aims into scrubland around a military base in conflict-hit central Mali. After a countdown, a soldier pulls the firing lanyard, but no round shoots to the horizon. Instead an officer shouts: “BOOM!”
From the shade of a nearby tree, four European Union military trainers watch as members of Mali’s 614th Artillery Battalion practice newly honed skills they hope will help the army gain an upper hand in its years-long fight with Islamist rebels.

In conflict-hit central Mali, a soldier pulls the firing lanyard on a howitzer, but no round shoots to the horizon. This is a training session aimed at giving Mali’s military the upper hand in its years-long fight against rebels.
It’s been organised by the European Union’s training mission in Mali, or EUTM, and led for the past nine weeks by Captain de la Pena.
“We train indirect fire to give them the opportunity to support the infantry units in longer distance without being exposed to the enemy. So we give them the opportunity to use the howitzer in its maximum capacity.”
