MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 29th November, 2021) Senegalese Foreign Minister Aissata Tall Sall asked China to support Sahel countries in their fight against terrorism during a meeting with her Chinese counterpart, Wang Yi, in Dakar.

The Senegalese foreign minister added that China is already investing in the agriculture, health care, culture, infrastructure, sports and a number of other sectors of Senegal's economy, expressing hope that the bilateral cooperation will benefit peoples of both countries.
The Sahel region has been struggling to battle terrorism for years. In 2014, France launched Operation Barkhane to help the regional countries. In June 2021, however, French President Emmanuel Macron announced plans to discontinue it by the first quarter of 2022, as a broader international effort to help the region fight terrorism would be made instead.
