The German Army is planning to deploy five CH-53 helicopters and soldiers to support UN mission in Mali in a couple of months.

Confirming the development, the German Air Force (Luftwaffe) tweeted Friday that it will deploy 120 soldiers and five CH-53 helicopters in the middle of this year.

The U.N. mission in Mali (MINUSMA), has deployed more than 13,000 troops to contain violence by armed groups in the north and centre of the country. It has recorded about 230 fatalities since 2013, making it the deadliest of the UN’s peacekeeping missions.

Mali has been in crisis since Islamist militants seized its desert north in 2012, forcing France to intervene the following year to push them back. But they have regrouped and extended their operations into central Mali and neighboring countries in Sahel region.
