Berlin, February 22 (RHC)-- Germany is considering dispatching troops to Tunisia to allegedly help train soldiers in the fight against Daesh Takfiri group.  The German newspaper Bild am Sonntag reported on Sunday that representatives of the defense and foreign ministries would hold talks in Tunis on Thursday and Friday about how the German military could lend support in a training mission.

The German newspaper said that Berlin's military mandate could initially include a training program for Tunisian soldiers, and eventually, setting up a German training camp in Tunisia for Libyan soldiers, run by Berlin's other international partners.

A German foreign ministry spokesman confirmed the planned talks in Tunis "on further cooperation on security" but declined to provide more information.  German forces are currently engaged in an international coalition led by the United States allegedly formed to combat Daesh Takfiri militants.
