Focus on Africa - Mali: UN peacekeeping mandate to expire
Download Mali: UN peacekeeping mandate to expire
As the mandate for United Nations peacekeeping soldiers to remain in Mali comes to an end after more than a decade, we look at what the force has achieved in the country, and what could happen once the troops have departed.
Plus, we examine the impact of IMF-mandated public spending cuts on countries like Kenya, who have to agree to stringent terms in order to receive emergency loans.
And we take a look at how the rising cost of living is making it difficult for some young Muslims to make the Hajj pilgrimage this year.
