France, its European partners and Canada announced on Thursday February 17 the withdrawal of Mali from anti-jihadist military operations Barkhane and Takuba due to the deterioration of relations with the junta in Bamako. This withdrawal “will take between four and six months” and “the heart of this operation will no longer be in Mali but in Niger”, explained the French president. Mady Ibrahim Kanté, researcher at the University of Political Sciences in Bamako was the guest of France 24.
