Germany sees no reason for military presence in Mali if elections delayed

Germany sees no reason to keep its troops in Mali if the country delays presidential and legislative elections by four to five years, Defence Minister Christine Lambrecht said in a statement on Tuesday.

"If elections are postponed by four or five years there will be no reason for further German engagement," Lambrecht said.
