Mali: between dronerie and fabuiserie, a Franco-US security in the Sahel
According to the  French Ministry of Defence, they took place within the framework of an "informal seminar" two days (an initiative of the DAS), opened on Monday and closed Tuesday afternoon by Jean-Yves Le Drian, involving senior Defence officials of the two countries on the issue of "terrorism in the African arc." Radio silence on the side of the cousins,reports the site ouest-france.fr.
 

Drones? Tuesday, Paris has denied press reports alleging a deployment of drones in the region. "We always talked about a possible provision of drones on French bases in the region, but there is nothing yet," said the Ministry of Defence. The owls in question they hang on the side of Cognac (BA 709)? Four copies are in the park 1/33 Belfort on these four cells, three could be deployed. Three maximum, but it is not bad at all.
 
Fabuiserie: "There is no material, either on the ground or in the air, which are currently set up specifically," said for his part, Foreign Minister, Laurent Fabius, who did not specify the meaning of the word "specifically".
 
What then are the helicopters in Burkina Faso, the Transall C-130 and other material that are destined for Bamako ...? Are they there to look pretty in the landscape? Specifically, any effort aimed at countering the Islamist Sahel kidnappers is included.
