France Calls Mali's Accusations of Paris Supporting Terrorism 'Information Manipulation'
18:37 GMT 18.08.2022 (Updated: 11:37 GMT 23.11.2022) PARIS, (Sputnik) - France condemns Mali's statement that Paris is allegedly supplying terrorists with weapons and regards it as an "information manipulation" designed to distract attention from the deteriorating security situation in the West African country, a spokesman for the French Foreign Ministry said on Thursday.
On Wednesday, media reported that the Malian authorities had accused France of supplying terrorists with weapons and called for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council.
"We condemn the spread of information manipulations, which in no way must distract attention from the deterioration of security and the humanitarian situation in the country, the first victims of which have been its population," the spokesman said at a briefing, commenting on the accusations by the Malian authorities.
The spokesman stressed that
France was withdrawing forces from Mali "in full transparency towards the Malian armed forces and partners" and would continue to fight terrorism in the Sahel and West Africa.
On Monday, the French Ministry of Armed Forces said that all the French military involved in the counterterrorism mission Barkhane in Mali had left the country.
The France-led counterterrorism mission Barkhane was founded in 2014 to assist the Malian military in their
fight against terrorism in the African region of Sahel. The Takuba Task Force was launched for the same purpose in March 2020.
