 a commitment of the French army in the Sahel at the same level as currently,

an engagement refocused around the fight against terrorism.

In passing, France welcomed, yesterday, Chad's decision to begin the deployment - promised a year ago already - in the area known as the Three Borders, of

Macron displays his paternalism

The Alert

 the refusal of the tenant of the Elysee to go to N'Djamena

is the confirmation of the attitude that France has always had towards its former colonies: contempt.

France, continues the Bamako periodical, must now show without half measures its good will in this fight against terrorism

Macron must know that he and the Presidents of the G5-Sahel countries are under the magnifying glass of a public opinion that demands short-term results.

Iyad Ag Ghali conditioned the dialogue with the Malian authorities on the departure of

You don't have to be a strategist to sniff out the trap, says the newspaper.

In fact, it would even be a disguised way of refusing the offer of dialogue because Iyad knows that foreign forces would never leave Mali in this way because of the geostrategic issues in the Sahel.

What is more, the project of Iyad Ag Ghali and Amadou Kouffa is to make Mali a caliphate, with sharia as an institution.

But if one maintains that Malians are 90% Muslim, very few of them are ready to endure the rigors of a rigorous Islamic state

Indeed, traditional beliefs, cultural manifestations and attachment to the customs and traditions inherited from ancestors are still very much alive in the country.

If we add to this that Islamization rhymes with Arabization, the risks of seeing our cultural values ​​disappear are enormous.

Neither the intellectuals who run the country nor the Malians are ready to attempt such an adventure which would lead to the deconstruction of our millennial civilization. 

Can Mali do without Operation Barkhane?

In the current state of the security situation, and given the insufficient capacities of the Malian armed forces and the regional forces of the G5 Sahel, Mali does not seem ready - in a short term perspective - to do without Operation Barkhane.

The reality, continues Boubacar Haidara, is that those who demand the immediate departure of Barkhane seem not to know the reality of the theaters of operations, and the extreme complexity of the Malian crisis.

Nor do they seem to realize that the Malian armed forces are not immediately able to take over.

Barkhane remains in place, and his

is even more determined, from the Elysee Palace, to bring the blow to jihadism in Africa.

And even if it emerges as a handover from France to Sahelian countries, in the medium term, the news can only rejoice Africans, because any sudden departure of Barkhane would leave an avenue for terrorists.

Except

WakatSéra

that we will have to tune the violins between France and its allies in the Sahel, because some countries are leaning more and more for the option of speaking out with the terrorists.

In Mali and Burkina Faso, local communities already seem well advanced in this direction that leaders are not ruling out either.

Is this the solution?
