Description
Retired French Colonel Raphaël Bernard, who served three tours in Mali, says he agrees with the decision to withdraw French troops from the West African nation, but admits feeling "some bitterness" for not seeing the mission to the end. "In the face of a country that declares (...) it no longer wants us there, what meaning can we give to our presence?," he asks during an interview with AFP. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
