Mali has given France 72 hours to get

out of the country according to my sources.

This is unconfirmed.

The French have have been enriching themselves 

with Malian gold, why do they envy the Russians?

Live and let live said some sage.🤓

Well all allegations have to be confirmed so

take them with grains of salt and sugar.
