Mali PM lashes out at France, saying the West African country 'cannot be turned into vassals' or enslaved again, a reference to the country's past as a colony of France
PM Choguel Kokalla Maiga makes a fiery speech but stops short of calling for the departure of the anti-militant force that France leads in Mali.
In a 45-minute speech on Monday to diplomats gathered at his request, Maiga denounced France, the former colonial power and a vocal critic of the military regime that appointed him."You cannot enslave the country. That is over," he said, a reference to the country's past as a colony of France. Mali stepped up its denunciations of France after the West African bloc ECOWAS announced sanctions against Mali's military regime on January 9.
