France to continue aerial support to Mali after troop withdrawal

France to continue aerial support to Mali after troop withdrawal OUAGADOUGOU (Reuters) -France will still give aerial military support to Malian troops battling an Islamist insurgency in the Sahel even after its counter-terrorism mission has withdrawn, but only where Russian fighters are not present, the force's commander said on Friday. Mali's former colonial power announced last month that it would pull out 2,400 troops first deployed to Mali almost a decade ago, after relations with the country's ruling military junta turned sour earlier this year. Tensions arose over the junta's decision to delay democratic elections in February, as well as its collaboration with private contractors belonging to Russia's Wagner group.
