France pull out of Mali: EU summit looks to boost strained ties with Africa

Description

EU and African leaders meet for a two-day summit starting Thursday, seeking to reboot ties with pledges of major investment in the face of competition from China and Russia. Relations have been hampered by a raft of problems: from disputes over coronavirus vaccine supplies, to curbing illegal migration, a wave of coups in Africa, and the growing clout of Russian mercenaries in Africa. FRANCE 24's Dave Keating reports from Brussels.
