French forces have gunned down 33 militants in a recent raid in Mali’s Mopti region; France President Emmanuel Macron revealed during his visit to Ivory Coast reiterating France's commitment to eradicate jihadists in the region. The latest action comes weeks after 13 French troops were killed in a helicopter collision in Mali and it was the biggest single-day loss of life for the French military since the 1980s.
