Question 40265 — foreign policy

Summary

The President of the Republic announced a transformation of the French presence in the Sahel. Operation Barkhane will end in 2022 but France will remain engaged in the Sahel. French forces will continue the fight against terrorism. The system will be more focused on operational cooperation with the Sahelian armed forces. It will integrate the European coalition force Takuba, French reinsurance elements and operational partnership detachments. At this stage, discussions are continuing regarding the status of soldiers involved in the future system. However, there is no question of this being degraded compared to that enjoyed by the soldiers engaged in Barkhane. It will thus offer the same level of protection and guarantee, taking into account the dangerousness of the territories concerned.
