France has pulled its troops out of the Malian northern city of Timbuktu as part of a general withdrawal out of the country by early 2022.
In 2013, French troops were deployed to help prevent attacks by fighters linked to al-Qaeda and ISIS (ISIL).
But Mali’s prime minister says that these groups are still a danger to the country’s security.

Look like usa leave afghanistan..
There is no war, no more!
@Imran Ahaan there is no food as well
@Vytautas with hardships they will incur ease and with more there will be peace ‘Need they only ask of my love 👑🤲💯🃏
No more Africa interfere
There is no end to interference in weak Africa. Russian troops will replace french troops. The military in Mali is incapable of providing security for the country.
Nope they come to steal resources, they are the one funding terrorists
Go home. We don’t want your troop, your brand and your product
no more. African reconlineze leave our home!
Absolutely
They got asked to come 🤔
Too late. Leaving won’t solve the problem already created.
Toop?
Congratulations Malians.
@Diaz Castro ISIS has left Mali following its master France.
@Adam Said now that french left there is power vaccume after all the Mali army is extremely weak . Are u in Mali
@F M France will be like that without Africa minerals resources you fool , can you imagine poor Africa pay France very year, you will be third world country without Africa
@F M you should be ashamed of yourself for supporting France terro who sponsored terrorist to attack the locals
@Adam Said no one is your friend, everyone has interest, don’t allow foreign forces in your country and don’t allow military man to rule you by force.
Go home yankee
Good vibes only 🤞☝️🏴
But what did they leave behind? Who is financing and supporting the terrorist organizations?
They need to build cities from scratch and relocate these people to the city. Do what China did with these tribes that are spread out
And what should they eat there ? There are not enough jobs in the cities, the only way they can survive is on their own farms. And when they all go back to the cities who will provide the city with goods ?
@ibo beko Farming is old news. Gotta imdustriize. They are dirt poor now😂😂 It’s doesn’t get much worse than that. ANYTHING is better than this. Embarrassing
@Thuggish Rich Businessman For industrializing it, you need money.
@ibo beko Africa has something better than money. RESOURCES. You all and your excuses 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️Perfectly content with France looting you while u all live with no power,water or shoes
@ibo beko Countries will sell their entire populations for access to the 39 trillion under the ground n Africa. You all should give up and let black Americans run these countries. We all can at least read,we got the teachers, GOOD politicians,Scientist,athletes,actors,Drs ect it should be our birth right
Losers
Those forces will be deployed in the eastern front of Europe.
Now that they have the great vax, the era of physical war is over. The U.S., France, China etc. Watch them carefully and you’ll see they’re acting the same against physical troop presence
@Jon S they are following the policy of “Hope for the best, prepare for the worst”.
Ukraine?
@mpye yup
The reason Thomas Sankara was assassinated
The France are there because they control Mali in other areas.The France government control their currency,resources,communication,language,education,arm sale,and government system.The will physically but they own the land and people in others ways.The Malians people and government need to change everything that is assocaited or was created and planed by France to be safe
This is called neo colonialism
no wonder they are angry at the malis for associating with the russians
Thanks to their quick intervention the terrorist didnt create organized city bases like ISIS in Mosul for example.
@Tusidex ooh u mean the same group which was supported by French firms by buying fuil from them?!
France is the robber for Africa
*I invite everyone to listen to the Holy QURAN* .❤❤❤❤
Tell that the woman and the young girls in Afghanistan! Islam is a beautiful religion but when it comes to worldly rights for women it sucks, big time! That has to change!
I invite you to listen to the Holy Bible!
Alhamdulilah
& do a good blast after reciting quran ola hu uber boom
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Those forces will go on borders of Russia
Is it because of what’s happening in Ukraine? I’m not familiar with the conflict need to do more research about it.
They’ve deployed better weapons (their vaxx). They don’t need to be there. They can enD-NA people without going to their countries
Africa don’t want Franch troops in our lands,France is a terrorist country
They’ve deployed better bi0 weapons to stupidify sheeple. They don’t need to be there to achieve their objectives. They can enD-NA people remotely now, you know they’re “first world country”.
With what and how is France replacing their troops in Africa. Do anyone believe that France is giving up their control over the countries their conquered …!?!?
Great job Mali you don’t need a spoon feeders
@Corwin Chelway Imagine french soldiers withdrawing their troops in Mali and stopping their foreign interferences for hundreds of years. Rapping, pillaging Mali for their resources. Hum, the malians can eat a whole meal on just that thought alone. Now imagine which country will need feeding let alone spoons.
@Wood Youkindly Well millions of people would starve… mostly women and children… but sure… the problem is spoon feeding…
@livencali1 Ohhhh I bet you are looking forward to winter in Afghanistan… the Taliban has always used hunger as a weapon and I bet several million will starve this winter… but THEY AREN’T SPOON FEEDING SO PROBLEM SOLVED
@Corwin Chelway You seem to still have a spoon in your mouth full of substances. The winter I am looking forward to is far from the one you’ll experience. Hopefully at the end your spoon will still be full for your own sake. Good luck!
Good all the west African countries should do the same, been to France & the anti dark skin racism is disgusting.
France been sucking Africa lifeline for about 500 yrs, The Frence is a leach on parasites on Africa resources, France as Africa on highbred Apartheid system, Look what France did to the Hatians France is super evil and heartless to black ppl
It’s troops not toops
Its troops not it’s
Get out terrorist sponsorship franchise France
J.U.S.T go‼️no interest 2 protect!!!!!!!!!!! 🚶🏽♀️
Deafeated.
What they are doing in Africa? is sahil the extansion of Balcan ? . …. funny Africa …can any African state establish Military base in Europ?
They do what all other non-African governments do in African. Put puppet leaders in place, pay them millions in order to pillage billions in natural resources, keep the Africans broke, destitute, and fighting each other, while they build up their own nations,
Withdraw all not some.
FRENCH TOOPS, TOPS OR TROOPS? 🤣🙈
France has stolen a bunch of Natural reserviors of Mali and left a bit to hide their abominable face .
Wagner in,,Asimi Goita make your own Malian currency
Power to malis so-called United Nation and France they are terrorist exporters to Africa why can they go to South China Sea
Mashallah now we will get all the infidels out of our lands
About time they stop killing and stealing from Africa
Never return. We don’t want you in Africa.
About time, get out of Africa…..colonizer!
I’m sorry but that is the worst thumbnail I’ve seen in 2021. Toops forces?
Ah, those ignorant comments that forgot the fact that France was asked to help Mali since 2013, when the local government was about to be overthrown by terrorists. But maybe next time african countries can defend themselves better instead of crying for the help of their old colonial powers when their armies are not able to defend their own territory.
@livencali1 repeating for the deaf ignorant: what are your sources ? None ? Then STFU !
@J CG I get it. Little JCG is angry? Well to bad. Since you have wasted quality time and couldn’t make a case for yourself, I am no longer interested in communicating with you. Just not fit for a response.
@livencali1 ..and still you are replying 🙂 So you admit your defeat, that’s the right move since you lack of any arguments nor reliable source. You’re a joke.
@livencali1 I wouldn’t be either going back and forth with these pathetic people
@livencali1 you haven’t given a source either. How about giving a source yourself before telling someone else to give a source. Your just a Hypocritical moron.
Allah is the greatest. Kick all french soldiers out of muslim lands ❤️
After this withdraw Africa especially Mali n Burkina Faso will feel peace now
Russian better than France troops
Not really
Go to France. 🙂
No foreign country has made africa to suffer more than France
“Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.”
(1 Samuel 15:3)
They should leave totally
They conquer, exploit and destroy. Thats the Literal Definition of the Wes-stern Civilisation
They are terrorists, they should leave. Hopefully one day they’ll get arrested and charged in a court of law.
This country is soon to be controlled by Islamic state
all foreign barracks will die in Great Africa
Is it true the Mali Government forced them out so they could pay a more effective military group to help them win the war?
They are bringing in the Russians mercineries
Misleading news. They will never leave and will always keep coming back in the name of different missions like peace keeping mission, and will keep intervening politically.
You mean UN missions?
@tigerish7 Tiger Big Bullies missions come in many forms. But no every country or nation wants to be the next Palestine & Palestinian people.
That’s why Arms race is happening everywhere
Official they have left! Crimes, thieves is different case…
War on terrorism is never ending because some people is making money from that.
Exactly right! War on terrorism is a business name, motto and a curtain to rob countries of their wealth.
France troops are looting gold from Mali, it’s great news that they finally left Mali after many years of looting Malian resources.
Shouldn’t be there
We need more French soldiers to leave
I’m not francophone, I don’t care nonsense
AL Jazeera media network of Taliban and jehad
Alhumdullha
Idi amin was the last good African ruler. He would never allow European armies come to his land.
Your making a joke right.
PEACE AND HUMAINITI MAINTAINE ALL WORLD
There would NO need for countries like France to get involved, if Africans could learn to peaceful get rid of their corrupted leaders. Civil Wars are not our answer. Africans need to find their own solution and stop depending on wealthy countries to fix our out of control wars. These countries are the root cause of Africa problems and they will continue to support the corrupted leaders for their own agenda.
France has no legitimacy to stay there..they r colonial occupier thief to steal resources of the region..nice to see their leave
we want all other foreign troops to leave our continent. NOMORE
We can say to France. Go back to where you came from. LOL
Good job Mali you don’t need democratic terrorist 👏
Something is brewing in Eastern Europe with Russia. Looks like NATO’s withdrawals from Africa and Middle East is tactical.
parasite called France
Toops lololol
After nine years of digging gold 😡
Source?
@Hitler was black of course
Its time for black people to start taking care of their own mess, and stop asking the white man for a handout.
forget afrika. china will slowly bleed them to death
Zlavery
Better for them to leave!! Africa is Able to Resolves their Issues or Problem!!
Mali begged for French help in 2013. Now that they’re leaving. Can Mali beats this insurgency. Probably better to negotiate with them.
Malians are all grown/woken up and are not obliged to beg anyone, anymore. They realized their biggest mistake for hiring a government equal to the mafia supposedly zealous to rid the Sahel region of jihadists and so called terrorists activity when the french were the real rebels/terrorists. They can do a better job of fighting terrorism without the mafia.
Congratulation 🇲🇱🇲🇱
After training and arming militias
Good, our french soldier are dying for stupid wars. It’s time to bring back all our soldiers. Let the africans fight their own war.
This journalist is inaccurate and is not acknowledging that weak france is withdrawing troops in Mali due to the Russian mercenaries recent occupation. It seems as though the only way to get respect in this world is to fight arms with arms. It’s the legitimate Government of Mali”s treaty with Russia and not some terrorist or so called jihadists as they have so well sown into the minds of the world.
No more 🇪🇹 🇪🇹 🇪🇹 🇪🇹
Mali remains without nothing all are stolen, taken away…. We Mali remains with our lives 💚🖤❤️and all that we want!
Nothing else we Mali to control our live… We are happy thay you leave us….
Cause France has been causing trouble, problems and misplaced of some lives…
@what a figurative ” penmanship/ of palimentary / helms& republic / compliance/01758^°st.lucia©®%[{ for honor & love to God! Solidat™✓
Monusco next in Congo need to leave 💪🏿
Hypocrites!! After putting sanctions on Wagner group
Another part of Africa lost!
Who cares to remember that this bloodshed in Mali & the Sahel & now spreading South on the continent, is a consequence of the US-French led NATO intervention in Libya? While America dishes out medals of honor to her soldiers, African, Middle East, South East Asian & Eastern European peoples are being terrorized as a result of the unquenchable US revenge misnamed the “war on terror” when it is itself a global reign of terror!
When did the french enter mali? For them, it’s just another military excercise. Africans must say no to foreign weapons and armies.
How much did they loot?
First step in fight against terror is done . Good work !
