日前，由中国第九批赴马里维和工兵分队38名官兵组建的梅纳卡分遣队，完成为期10个月的工程建设任务后，搭乘直升机全部顺利撤回至加奥大本营。
The MINUSMA peacekeeping camp in Menaka is located over 300 kilometers away from the Super Camp in Gao. In October 2021, 38 members of the 9th Chinese peacekeeping engineering contingent were deployed to the Menaka mission area, which was on the edge of the Sahara Desert and featured with frequent sandstorms and rampant terrorist organizations.
