ABU DHABI, Jan 15 (Reuters) – French President Francois
Hollande said on Tuesday that the deployment of a joint African
force to help French troops battle al Qaeda-affiliated militants
in Mali could take “a good week.”
Speaking from a French military base in Abu Dhabi, Hollande
also said French forces in Mali had overnight “made further
strikes which hit their targets.”
“We will continue the deployment of forces on the ground and
in the air,” Hollande added.
