#REPLAY – President Emmanuel #Macron said Tuesday there would be no “immediate” reduction in the 5,100 French troops supporting #Sahel nations fighting an Islamist insurgency. “Changes that are likely to be significant will be made to our military deployment in the Sahel when the time comes, but they will not be made immediately,” Macron told reporters after a video-linked summit with leaders of #Burkina Faso, #Chad, #Mali, #Mauritania and #Niger.
