France will withdraw its troops within “a month” according to diplomatic sources. Paris was waiting until then for clarifications from the president of the Burkinabè transition concerning the request of his Ministry of Foreign Affairs to send French soldiers from the territory.
“On Tuesday we formally received the denunciation, by the Burkinabè government, of the 2018 agreement relating to the status of the French forces present in this country. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, the denunciation takes effect one month after receipt of the written notification. We will respect the terms of this agreement by following up on this request, ”said a spokeswoman for the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
