France has officially ended its operations in Burkina Faso on Feb. 20, a month after the ruling junta there terminated a military accord that allowed the former colonial power to fight jihadists. French forces remain in the greater region, however. The move came as French Defense Minister Sebastien Lecornu visited CĂ´te d’Ivoire, pledging to boost military support as jihadist attacks hit coastal West African states. (TNH)
