MALI-FRANCE-DEFENCE
French and Malian soldiers embark on December 31, 2013 in Bamako en route to Gao, aboard the first A 400M Atlas French military transport aircraft which makes his first missions abroad from December 29, 2013 to January 1, 2014. French Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian arrives today in Mali as part of a three-day tour focusing on security which also takes in Niger and Chad. France launched Operation Serval in January 2013 to drive out Al-Qaeda-linked extremists who had occupied Mali's north in 2012 and imposed a brutal interpretation of Islamic sharia on the inhabitants of Timbuktu and the other main desert settlements.
