were killed on Saturday , during a mission in Mali . Five days earlier, three other soldiers had also died in the Sahel, bringing to 26 the number of French soldiers killed in the Sahel since the start of the French intervention in 2013.

“The motivation, the pugnacity and the selflessness of the French soldiers remain intact in the face of the groups which sow terror and chaos”, specified Florence Parly, Minister of the Armed Forces , in the press release paying tribute to the “dead for France”. The withdrawal of French forces is not on the agenda.

France has lost two of its children. I pay tribute to the strength of the commitment of Sergeant Yvonne Huynh and Brigadier Loïc Risser, of the 2nd Hussar Regiment of Haguenau. They embody the honor and bravery of the Chamborant hussars. My thoughts are with their families. pic.twitter.com/59 r9oCXByh
