FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda On Friday, Le Drian said on Europe 1 radio, “We have accomplished a large part of the work… It’s not completely finished. There are still two pockets (of resistance).”
The French minister also stated that securing the region around Mali’s northern city of Gao was one of the challenges for France and added that the French troops were in “face-to-face combat” with local fighters.
On Thursday, Le Drian made a surprise visit to Mali and met with French troops near a rocky desert valley called Ametetai in the Adrar des Ifoghas mountains that have been the focal point of recent clashes.
Describing Chadian soldiers who helped the war on Mali as ‘brothers’ of the French forces, Le Drian said, “We are in the last sanctuaries. It is here that the conflict and the fighting is the most violent.”
Around 4,000 French troops have been deployed to Mali since France launched the war on January 11 under the pretext of halting the advance of fighters who had taken control of northern Mali.
The war has caused a serious humanitarian crisis in northern areas of Mali and has displaced thousands of people who now live in deplorable conditions.
Some political analysts believe that Mali’s abundant natural resources, including gold and uranium reserves, could be one of the reasons behind the French war on the African country.
