Quick Reaction Force of MINUSMA Hosts Base in Ogossagou in Mali by United Nations Photo

The village of Ogossagou is located 144 kilometres from the town of Sévaré in the Mopti region of central Mali. The village of Ogossagou has been hosting a temporary operational base (TOB) for over two years with peacekeepers from Senegal serving with the Quick Reaction Force (QRF) of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA). The objective of this operation is to maintain peace between the communities which, in February 2020, clashed violently, causing several hundred deaths, the majority of which were women and children. The village of Ogossagou is difficult to access by land due to the security situation, terrorist attacks and Improvised Explosive Device (IED), and to the isolation of the village. Recently, calm has returned to Ogossagou with the signing of local agreements between the two communities.
