Mali has asked the UN to send a rapid intervention¹ force to fight Islamist militants² in the north of the country.

马里请求联合国派遣一支快速干预部队以对抗国内北部的伊斯兰教激进分子。

Malian Foreign Minister Abdoulaye Diop told the UN Security Council that urgent measures were needed following recent killings³ of UN peacekeepers.

A Senegalese soldier died on Tuesday, days after nine peacekeepers from Niger were killed by militants.

The UN's peacekeeping chief said Malian forces had been unable to fill the gap left by departing French troops.

French and African troops intervened in Mali in January 2013 to stop the southern advance of al-Qaeda-linked fighters on the capital, Bamako.

The insurgents⁴ were expelled from the northern towns but have continued attacks against the UN force deployed⁵ to help bring stability.

The 9,000-strong UN force, known as Minusma, took over peacekeeping operations in July 2013.

Speaking to the UN Security Council via a video link, Mr Diop warned that the region once again ran "the risk of becoming the destination of hordes⁶ of terrorists".

He said "urgent measures" were needed to bolster⁷ the UN mission, saying it must have "appropriate means to fulfil its mandate⁸".

"Perhaps the council should consider setting up a rapid intervention force that would be able to fight the terrorist elements," Mr Diop added.

The appeal for more robust⁹ action in northern Mali came amid some of the deadliest violence to target a UN peace mission in recent years.
