Burkina Faso security: French peace operation 'Sabre' comes to an end • FRANCE 24 English

The departure of French special forces is a result of deteriorating relations between France and Burkina Faso's junta, which has vowed to restore security but said it wished to do so alone. Last year France pulled troops out of Mali, where the Sahel insurgency first took root in 2012, after butting heads with a junta there. FRANCE 24's International Affairs Editor Philip Turle tells us more.
