FRANCE - MALI - DEFENCE - ARMY

FRANCE, Paris : Malian President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita (L) holds hands with his French counterpart Francois Hollande as they attend solemn and national tribute ceremony at the Hotel des Invalides in Paris, on April 20, 2016 in honour of the three French soldiers killed in service in Mali last week.Three French peacekeeping soldiers died after their armoured car ran over a landmine in Mali, the French presidency said April 13, 2016. One soldier, Mickael Poo-Sing, was killed immediately in the blast on April 12, 2016 and President Francois Hollande learned with great sadness that two more soldiers had died in the west African country, a statement said. The car was leading a convoy of around 60 vehicles travelling to the northern desert town of Tessalit when it hit the mine, according to the French defence ministry. The troops were part of Operation Barkhane, under which France has some 3,500 soldiers deployed across five countries in the Sahel region, south of the Sahara desert, to combat the jihadist insurgency raging there.
