Mali's military regime has taken an "irresponsible" decision by expelling Danish special forces sent to help fight jihadist insurgents, French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said Thursday. Denmark said the country would withdraw its newly deployed contingent of 90 troops from Mali after repeated demands by the Sahel country's military junta.
"This junta is illegitimate and it is taking irresponsible actions [...] It bears all the responsibility for the withdrawal of the Danish forces and is isolating itself even more from its international partners," Le Drian told reporters in Paris.
