#The French government announces that all its troops have withdrawn from Mali # Mali has long been a French colony, and after Mali's independence, French troops have been stationed there for a long time due to civil unrest, helping to suppress terrorist organizations. But the livelihood of the people in Mali has not improved, but the more it is suppressed, the more rampant it is.
The sense of independence of the Malians is also growing, and the new transitional government is very disgusted with the long-term presence of French troops in Mali. The French ambassador in Mali was expelled at the beginning of the year. As a result, relations between France and Mali broke down, and France immediately announced the gradual withdrawal of its troops.
Now that the French army has completely withdrawn from Mali, this is equivalent to the failure of France's military operations in Mali for 8 years, not only has not been able to eliminate terrorists and terrorist organizations in Mali, but also has not been able to achieve harmony between France and Mali.
There are very deep, very complex causes here, and deep problems that are difficult to solve.
First, the country of Mali is a country dominated by Islam. There is a fundamental difference between the beliefs and cultures of the people and the culture of france. France is a Catholic culture, a Catholic faith. This is an important reason for the estrangement between the cultural base and the psychology of the people.
Secondly, Mali's economy has not improved fundamentally, and the people of Mali have been living in poverty and turmoil for a long time, and the lack of economic improvement is an important breeding ground for terrorists.
In addition, the personality of The Malians is also more intense. This also creates their easy to resist character.
Thirdly, the national consciousness and national independence of the Malians are increasingly enhanced. They did not like the presence of French troops, and in Mali they believed that their government, because of the presence of French troops, belonged to the puppet government of France and was bound to obey the guidance and command of France.
This means that the people of Mali want independence from the bottom of their hearts and sovereignty from the bottom of their hearts, without wanting foreign interference and the presence of troops.
It has always been a wise choice for French troops to be able to withdraw from Maris in time. Spending so many years there is also the helplessness of the colonial motherland.
It also reflects France's current powerlessness in dealing with such a former colonial country, now a country where terrorism is rampant. Withdrawing troops from Mali also means, for France, a burden off.
