      “Plus de 3 milliards d’euros promis pour la reconstruction du Mali”

      “Quatre mois après le déclenchement de l’opération militaire française “Serval” contre les troupes islamistes, de nombreux pays ont promis des aides (près de 3,25 milliards d’euros au total) pour la reconstruction du Mali, selon François Hollande. Le président français précise que ce montant est supérieur aux objectifs des organisateurs de cette conférence – l’Union européenne, la France et le Mali –, qui ambitionnaient de lever environ 2 milliards d’euros.”
