US Defence Secretary Jim Mattis on Sunday urged France to continue its African anti-terror operations under its new presidency, as he visited strategic Djibouti on the day of France’s first-round election.
“I have no doubt that the French will continue to make their own decisions in their own best interest and that the terrorists will not enjoy these decisions,” Mattis told reporters in the Horn of Africa nation, which hosts Washington’s only permanent military base on the continent.
