Yesterday, the international Mali conference took place at the Committee of the Regions in Brussels.

Eu commission chairman José Manuel Barroso

We all remember that France led a military operation in Mali to avoid having islamists governing the country. Different other countries like Belgians gave a logistic support to this military operation.

This operation was a real  success. Therefor, France and the European Union took the initiative of bringing more than a hundred countries together to contribute to Mali reconstruction.

The top of yesterday with President Hollande and European commission chairman Barroso is a success. The participating countries promised more than 4 billion $ to help the country.
