The UN-backed intervention force of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) arrives in Mali to fight Islamist rebels in the northern part of the country.
Although previously scheduled for late 2013, the deployment was moved ahead of time amid concerns that delays could endanger the mission to dislodge the rebel militant groups with links to Al-Qaeda.
The intervention force, called the African-led International Support Mission in Mali (AFISMA), consists of 3,300 troops and will use all required measures to help free the north of Mali from "terrorist, extremist and armed groups".
AFISMA was authorized by the UN Security Council on December 20, 2012 after an earlier review of the intervention plan in November. The Council gave the military force an initial one-year mandate.
The UN also approved to help rebuilding Mali's army, which fell apart after Tuareg nationalists and Islamist rebels took over the northern negion following a military coup in March 2012.
