Mali's ruling junta tells France to withdraw troops 'without delay'

Mali's army-led government asked France on Friday to withdraw its troops from the Sahel state "without delay", calling into question Paris' plans to pull out over several months.

A government spokesman added in a statement announced on public television that the results of France's nine-year military engagement in conflict-torn Mali were "not satisfactory".

France's troops will leave Mali "in orderly fashion," President Emmanuel Macron said on Friday, in response to the demand from Bamako's ruling junta to leave immediately.

Macron told a media conference after a summit in Brussels that, while the French soldiers will withdraw in line with his announcement a day earlier, they will do so in a way to continue providing protection for the UN stabilisation mission in Mali, MINUSMA, and other foreign forces in the country.

"I will not compromise for one second" on their security, Macron said.

Breakdown in relations

On Thursday, French President Emmanuel Macron had announced that he was withdrawing troops from Mali after a breakdown in relations with the nation's ruling military junta.

Relations between the two countries deteriorated sharply after Mali's army seized power in a coup in 2020, and later defied calls to restore civilian rule swiftly.

The French pullout after nearly a decade is also set to see the smaller European Takuba force of special forces, created in 2020, leave Mali.

France currently has some 5,000 troops deployed across the Sahel as part of its anti-jihadist Barkhane force -- the majority in Mali.

Macron had said the withdrawal would take place over four to six months.

Spokesman Colonel Abdoulaye Maiga called the French withdrawal a "flagrant violation" of accords between the two countries.

Comment: Macron feigning concern for Mali is highly dubious because we know that Western forces have fostered African dictators, initiated coups, and backed terrorist groups in the region. As recently as March 2021 the UN declared France guilty of an airstrike against a wedding in Mali that killed 19 civilians, and later in June four French executives were indicted over their complicity in spying and torture:

Calls by whom ?!?

Who has a business with internal issues of this country ?

The Wagner Group—a Russian private military company (PMC) linked to the Kremlin, Ministry of Defense (particularly the Main Intelligence Directorate, or GRU), and Federal Security Service (FSB)—has arrived in Mali with the support of the Russian armed forces. This deployment, which reportedly began in December 2021, has been condemned by Mali’s international partners including the United States and numerous European countries. With instability in the Sahel on the rise, and with countries like France scaling back their military efforts against Salafi-jihadist groups in the region, Wagner’s emergence comes at a particularly fraught moment for Mali and is representative of Russia’s strategy to spread influence in the region through irregular, deniable means. As Russia’s most infamous PMC works to entrench itself in a state that has been at the center of counterterrorism efforts in West Africa, the international community should rethink its strategy to stymie Russian irregular efforts in Africa.

Xerox Simply:

On 8 October 2021 , Malian Prime Minister Choguel Kokalla Maïga accused France of training the terrorists it claims to be fighting .

“We have proof of this. In our language there is a saying that when you’re searching for a needle in your room and the person supposedly helping you to look for it is sitting on it, you will never be able to find it. This is the current situation in Mali, and we do not intend to put up with it,” he added.

The Prime Minister then pointed out that the French troops deployed in his country have consistently prevented the Malian army from entering the Kidal enclave, a stronghold of the Tuareg rebellion where French officers are allegedly training jihadists of the Ansar el-Din front, an offshoot of al-Qaeda.

At the beginning of its intervention in Mali, in 2013, France restrained the advance of its own troops to allow time for the Qatari handlers of the Islamist militants to clear out.

Today, France asserts that the aim of its mission is to forestall the sprouting of an Islamic Emirate in the Sahel. However, Mali is inhabited in the North by Arab nomadic tribes and in the South by Black sedentary populations. Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi was the only one committed to reconciling Arabs and Blacks, after ten centuries of slavery. The overthrow of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya at the hands of NATO and the jihadists rekindled the animosity between those two populations, plunging Mali in particular into war . Indeed, the framing of the French military mission in Mali leaves the door open for the possibility of supporting nomadic jihadists.

In the past, the French soldiers who supervised jihadist militants in Qatar and Libya, and who continue to do so in Syria..., as American, British, Canadian Troops, they sponsor international terrorism, while the Russians seriously KILL them.

So, all of them out of my balls

Xerox As in Syria, what are the American and other troops doing (British, French, Canadian, Turkish, etc.) ??? They train and supply the Terrorists with ARMS, as well as STEAL THE SYRIAN OIL, all without anyone having called them ...., they are there for "Divine mandate", and without any legitimacy whatsoever from the Government of Syria, and up as of now, they are lucky that the Russians did NOT exterminate them like sewer RATS ......

France Annually Exploits Former African Colonies Of 440 Billion Euros

[Link]

Xerox France controls, robs and impoverishes 14 African states.

The colonial franc guarantees to Paris an iron control of their currency, as well as an exclusive monopoly on the rich materials of which they abound (gold, uranium, oil, gas, cocoa, coffee), with a transfer of wealth equal to 550 billion dollars a year..........

The pivot around which the entire system of French control over the 14 African countries revolves is the colonial franc, known as the CFA franc, a currency that France imposed on its colonies in 1945, immediately after the Bretton Woods agreement, which regulated the system monetary after the Second World War.

Originally the acronym CFA stood for "French colonies of Africa", but in the 1960s, following the recognition of the independence of the French colonies decided by Charles De Gaulle, its meaning changed: "African financial community". A purely formal recognition of the end of the colonial regime, as the CFA franc has preserved all the iron and jugular ties it had on local economies from the beginning. We are talking about 14 states of the sub-Saharan area and Central Africa, with a population of about 160 million units, for which the official currency is the CFA franc, minted and printed in France, a country that has established all its characteristics and it holds the monopoly.

Here is their list: Cameroon, Chad, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Central African Republic, Republic of the Congo, Benin, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Guinea Bissau, Mali, Niger, Senegal and Togo.

The first constraint of the CFA franc consists in the obligation for the 14 countries that use it to deposit 50% of their monetary reserves with the French Treasury. In practice, when one of the 14 CFA franc countries exports to a country other than France, and collects dollars or euros, it is obliged to transfer 50% of this income to the Bank of France. Originally the share to be transferred to France was 100% of the proceeds, then it dropped to 65% (1973 reform, after the end of the colonies), finally to 50% from 2005.

So, for example, if Cameroon , subject to explicit French permission, he exports ready-made clothes to the United States for a value of 50 thousand dollars, he has to transfer 25 thousand to the French central bank. A system from which not a penny escapes, as the monetary agreements on the CFA franc provide that there are representatives of the French state, with the right of veto, both on the administrative and supervisory boards of the financial institutions of the 14 former colonies .

Thanks to this transfer of monetary wealth, France manages 50% of the foreign currencies of the 14 former colonies at will, investing them heavily in government bonds issued by its Treasury, thanks to which it has been able to finance generous public spending for decades, often unaware of the Maastricht constraints, when Angela Merkel asked the various French governments to deposit 50% of the reserves of the 14 former colonies with the ECB, instead of with the French central bank, the answer was always a dry one. no. Among the numerous constraints imposed by the agreements on the CFA franc, there is also the "first right" for France to buy any natural resource discovered in its former colonies!!!!!!!!!!!

Hence the control of Paris over raw materials of enormous strategic value: uranium, gold, oil, gas, coffee, cocoa. Only after an explicit "no French interest" is permission to look for another buyer. But beware: the major economic assets of all 14 former colonies are in the hands of the French who have long since settled in Africa, becoming millionaires (above all, Vincent Bolloré and Martin Bouygues). Africans live in countries owned by the French. While to the Africans, Macron's France leaves only the crumbs. And often not even those: only misery.
