French Ambassador expelled from Mali: the only colony of Paris remains Italy.
French West Africa begins to no longer exist. The Malian government has announced that after the "hostile and outrageous" comments made by the French authorities on the country's government, the French envoy to Bamako, Joelle Meyer, must leave the country within three days.
The French ambassador was granted 72 hours to leave Mali after the French Foreign Minister and other government officials spoke "repeatedly" against Mali's national authorities in a way that was "contrary to the development of friendly relations between nations, ”Malian officials said.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said Mali's ruling military government was "out of control" as tensions grew between the two countries over the deployment of a French-led counter-terrorism force.
Mali junta officials "vigorously condemned" the comments. They had also previously warned Denmark to immediately withdraw over 100 military personnel who had entered the country as part of the counter-terrorism force, deeming their presence illegal despite Copenhagen saying they were there on a "clear invitation". In the meantime, however, an Italian force remains in Mali, part of the Takuba Task Force, with an apparatus that includes transport and attack helicopters. Meanwhile, hundreds of soldiers from the private company Wagner have arrived from Russia , evidently with the task of counterbalancing the European Task Force.
The French colonial empire is over, except in some European countries, such as Italy. Now an adequate strategy should be found in Mali because the military situation is becoming more and more dangerous and leaving mobs on the field without a strategic vision is madness.
