Mali has asked France for a review of bilateral defence accords against the backdrop of growing tensions between Paris and the ruling junta in Bamako, a French diplomat said Monday.Malian Prime Minister Choguel Kokalla Maiga on Saturday said on state television that the accords were “unbalanced”, remarking that Mali “cannot even overfly its territory without France’s permission”.
Foreign Minister Abdoulaye Diop later told French news channel France 24 that Bamako had submitted suggested amendments to Paris. A military operation launched by France in January 2013 to fight jihadists in Mali — first called Serval, then Barkhane — falls under the bilateral accord reached in March 2013.
Meanwhile, bilateral relations have been strained over the presence of Russian mercenaries from the Wagner group in Mali and French moves to reorganise its military presence in the country.
Well done Malians
This is a move in the right direction
