'We have no choice. We need results.' Leaders of France, Niger, Mali, Mauritania, Burkina Faso and Chad vow to bolster their fight against militants in West Africa's Sahel region
The so-called G5 leaders also urged joint efforts to help end the civil war in Libya,"which continues to foster instability in the Sahel," according to the statement.
At a press conference after the talks, Macron said he would send 220 more soldiers to reinforce France's 4,500-strong Barkhane operation, tasked with training and assisting under-equipped and strained local forces. "The G5 leaders expressed their desire for France's continued engagement in the Sahel, and urged a greater international presence at their side," the statement said.
Militants have recently stepped up their campaign against military and civilian targets, with UN chief Antonio Guterres warning this month that "terrorist groups are gaining ground."
