French President Emmanuel Macron gives a press conference as part of the COP27 climate conference at the Sharm el-Sheikh International Convention Centre, in Egypt’s Red Sea resort city of the same name, on November 7, 2022.
Around 3,000 French soldiers remain in Niger, Chad and Burkina Faso, and while those numbers are not expected to change soon, there will be “a significant adjustment for our bases in Africa”, an official in Macron’s office told AFP. The French deployment was launched in 2013 when jihadist rebels took over much of northern Mali before being turned back.
