MALI-FRANCE-CONFLICT-SAHEL

French Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian (CR) poses with French soldiers in front of the first A 400M Atlas French military transport aircraft on December 31, 2013, in Gao where he celebrates the New Year, some hours earlier. His visit to Mali is part of a three-day tour focusing on security which also takes in Niger and Chad. France launched Operation Serval in January 2013 to drive out Al-Qaeda-linked extremists who had occupied Mali's north in 2012 and imposed a brutal interpretation of Islamic sharia on the inhabitants of Timbuktu and the other main desert settlements.
