Mali In Crisis: What Next For British Deployments?

Dr Andrew E. Yaw Tchie from the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) said that, rather than pulling personnel out of the region amid rising uncertainty, the UK will pause to consider its next move. He also said the Mali coup is unlikely to lead to the RAF Chinook helicopters being pulled out. "It's unlikely that the UK will just pull out troops," Dr Tchie said. "It's more likely that, at this point, people are pausing to think about, 'What next?'."
