France Unveils New Africa Military StrategyFrench President Emmanuel Macron has announced the end of its Barkhane anti-militants mission in Africa after over a decade, saying a new strategy would be worked out with African partners. The move, he said, was the "consequence of what we have experienced" in recent months and a new strategy would be worked out within the next six months. French forces have faced growing hostility from some who see them as the ineffective occupying force of a former colonial power, and Macron pulled them out of Mali this year as relations soured with the country's military rulers. He said France also plans to revamp its partnerships and operations in Africa, where its forces have been trying to help local governments contain Islamist insurgencies in the Sahel region for the past decade.

What did the Hecks turn Libya into !?
