Spain to evaluate African peacekeeping missions after Niger, Gabon coups

Spain will evaluate peacekeeping missions in Africa after coups in Niger and Gabon, acting Defence Minister Margarita Robles said on Wednesday at a European Union defence ministers meeting in Toledo.

Robles added that Spain was monitoring events in Africa's Sahel region with great concern. Spain has about 140 troops stationed to the northeast of Mali's capital, Bamako, as part of the EU's training mission there.
