Paris leaves the initiative to counter terrorism in Africa

News agency agence France-presse reports that France has taken the initiative to combat terrorism on the African continent. The initiative of France, made during a meeting of the un security council, drew a special attention taking into account the fact that the french authorities would do well to deal with terrorism in their own country. So, the initiative of paris in the un security council as follows: the authorities propose to establish a united group of troops in the armed forces of African states. It is countries like chad, burkina faso, niger, mauritania and Mali - the countries of the so-called zone of the sahel (the area of tropical African savannah) and sugars. Official paris says that the authorities of these countries have already expressed their consent to the formation of the grouping of forces with headquarters in bamako (Mali).

Reportedly, the united group of the number will be 5 thousand people. Need to remind you that in the same African region has another "Anti-terrorist task force". This so-called minusma – 12-strong contingent of un peacekeepers, which included french soldiers. For 4 years their "Peacekeeping" efforts contingent not only coped with the task, but also allowed to assume that under the control of militants of different groups were still large in its territory of African states. I wonder when paris will come out with an initiative to counter terrorism in Europe?.
