Qatar has shown commitment towards supporting the fight against militants operating in the African Sahel region.

The Arab nation has sent 24 armored vehicles to Mali to assist in combating militants operating in the region.

This is seen as a major move by Qatar which is accused of supporting terrorism.

Qatar appears to be putting up a good image on the international scene after its Gulf Arab neighbors imposed a diplomatic and economic boycott on it last year.

Military planes from Qatar delivered the said vehicles. Qatar’s foreign ministry said this would help “combat terrorism and establish security not only in the Republic of Mali but also in the African Sahel countries known as the G5.”

The G5 of Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Chad and Mauritania have created a military taskforce to fight jihadist violence.

Saudi Arabia and the UAE have agreed to provide about $150 million to the G5 Sahel force.

Mali continues to suffer from attacks carried out by militant groups. Inter-ethnic clashes have also taken a toll on the country.
