Cut and run would be best case scenario, imo. It worries me because France is recalling international troops and i can't find any info on what they're future plans are. I get a few here and there will remain behind and act as an academy for future local troops, but what are the plans for the rest of them, having a picnic while military budget increases?

France seems to think there might be a large war soon, based on the fact that they are pushing their industry towards producing ammunition and war equipment and based on their troops deployment.
I've also heard rumors about them thinkink of deploying nukes in Baltic to deter Russia but those were rumors, and from last year.

Since Mali and Burkina stoped carring about France holding Isis away I guess it doesn't matter now

It's understandable that the colonial past makes the French staying there seem dirty, but they've done successful operations to fight back Islamist extremists. It can make sense to keep peacekeeping troops for longer.

That doesn’t make since. Cutting back on the military presence worldwide but raising their military budget? This is a reallocation of resources to other important regions of interest (Europe/Asia?) not a cutback.

low level unsourced bullshit
Mines in Mali (or Burkina Faso) are owned by South African companies as well as canadian, Australian and now Russian.
France imports some fruits from Mali. Yes fruits, 6 m$ of fruits which is nothing.
So go work harder on your BS

>The Moura massacre was carried out by Malian Armed Forces and Russian mercenaries from the Wagner Group between 27 and 31 March 2022, in the central Malian town of Moura, Mopti Region in conflict with Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb's Jama'at Nasr al-Islam wal Muslimin. Over 300 civilians are alleged to have been killed according to US-based Human Rights Watch.
Massacre of 300 civilians by Wagner. This is the kind of thing France refused to do, and you asked for. Happy outcome ? Enjoy
