column of French and Malian troops has entered the key central Malian town of Diabaly, without resistance from militant Islamists, officials say.

About 30 armoured vehicles carrying some 200 French and Malian soldiers moved into the town, said an AFP reporter with the soldiers.

The Islamists fled the town on Friday after it was hit by French airstrikes.

France launched its military action in Mali more than a week ago to end the Islamist control of northern Mali.

France has sent some 2,000 troops to help Malian forces fight the militants, some of whom are linked to al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb.

It has called on West African countries to speed up the deployment of a regional force of more than 3,000.

Foreign forces in Mali



An Islamist group in Nigeria, says it carried out an attack last week which killed two Nigerian troops as they prepared to deploy to Mali.

Ansaru said it targeted the troops because the Nigerian military was joining efforts to "demolish the Islamic empire of Mali".

Nigeria has pledged to send 1,200 troops to Mali, with the first 50 deployed on Thursday.

Togolese and Senegalese solders make up the remaining 100 troops already in Bamako, AFP reports.
'Total reconquest'

Mali's Islamist fighters seized control of Diabaly, about 400km (250 miles) from the capital, Bamako, soon after France's intervention.

On Monday, French soldiers from the 21st Marine Infantry Regiment as well as parachutists and Malian troops entered the town after reconnaissance flights by Gazelle helicopters, said an AFP reporter with the soldiers.

They had set out at dawn from the nearby government-controlled town of Niono, which French troops entered on Thursday.

Army commanders had earlier expressed fears that Islamists fleeing Diabaly had planted landmines.

On Sunday, French Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said France was seeking "total reconquest" of northern Mali.

"We will not leave any pockets" of resistance, he told French television.

The Islamist groups currently control a vast area in the Sahara Desert, larger than France.

@ OMO-Tier,if they win 2015,These are the people that will become Ministers,DG,Board members etc.These are the people that will determine who beccomes the President and VP too.These are the people that will decide how things run in Nigeria if they win.We cannot afford to place our hope on these caliber of people.They are thieves who should be behind bars.

Merger is dead on arrival.They have just delivered 2015 to GEJ on a platter of Gold.Same old thieves who lost relevance in PDP.Ikimi,Akume.Ogbe,Udenwa and co.Most of them are supposed to be in jail in a country where things work.These are people who have stole from this country and are finding ways to come back and replenish their dwindling loot.Its a pity that the Anti corruption slogan of the merging party has already failed with the caliber of people mentioned here.We will rather stick to GEJ than these bunch of old criminals struggling wrestle power.

Where is Sheik Gummi?Let him explain the reason for this attack.He seems to know how Yakowa and Azzazi died and we wait for his comment.

Buhari men on point here.I understand your frustrations.

This is a failed propaganda.She soiled her hand and was given the kick.These Men from the Ministers tribe were not even posted to juicy outpost except SEME.The Airports,passport offices and foreign Mission are the Juicy areas and I didn't see any of the Minister tribe men maning those station.

Buhari anti-curroption jingle went up in flames after his romance with Tinubu.He is a religious bigot who is only intrested in playing Ethnic card.How can we allow a Buhari who is so dull to understand that only his votes from the North can guarantee him easy access to aso rock in d last election?
We can only que up behind Fashola and any attempt to foist Buhari by the merger party is already dead on arrival.PDP have started celebrating another victory come 2015.

Pep taking the easy way out.I expected him to take and rebuild a team just as Mounrinho did so we will know who is better as we have always argue.He went to a less competitive league.Coward.

Obaddiah is unneccesarily high on cow dung.I have stop arguing with him.

So u prefer the Islamist to overrun Mali and put their Government in place?Would you also prefer such a Boko Haram to over run Nigeria in same way?

Ango Abdulahi is surely campaigning for GEJ to win 2015 again.North will only smell power only when the country divides and they should be ready to feed on cow dung,fura Da nono.

@ Obaddiah,so you think China,Russia and Iran will be able to stand USA,Britian,Isreal,Germany,France and the rest of NATO allies?You are big joke.You must be high on cow dung.

@ Obaddiah77,that was how you people encourage Osama,Sadam and Ghadafi.You are now pushin Almajinad of Iran to his early grave.Your Boko Haram brothers are been hunted down like rats.They will soon get you.

@ Obadiah 77,please join your blood sucking brothers in Mali in surpport.Its beats my imajination that you are in support of Islamist terrorist killing Innocent civilians without provacation.You are not human.

What of Dikko of customs with forge cerfiticates and sanusi Lamido and Sanusi Lamido with Massive recruitment fraud hanging on the necks.North sure know how to fight dirty.

Dikko of Customs with forge cerfiticates and Sanusi Lamido should be next.I respect the Northerners,they know how to play politics.If these two Northerners mentioned above still remain on the seats after glaring massive recruitment frauds,it shows how strong they are in politics.

@ Obadiah 77,when drones in their multitudes rained some bombs on your stinking asses in your parastitc dungeon of Norther Nigeria,you will know the level of my knowledge in world polictic and Economics.Not surprise how brainwashed demons like you get on the Internet and propogate falsehood.You can equally join your Islamic brothers in Mali to fight France and her allies.

@ Cooldun,right on point.The same people shouting Iran,China,Russia also sanged the praises of Saddam and Ghadaffi defeating America before both wars.The end result is still glaring.Iran attempt to go to war with America will not last more than a week.quote me.Russia and China can only suuport their own intrest when the need arises.Most Islamic demons on these forum deep hatred for the west is deeply rooted in their support for terrorism.Your can never understand the reason behind all invasion by western power cos you are all brainwashed bigots who see know good reason for the survival of other human who does not believe in worshiping your blood sucking Allah.Its pertinent to ask ourselves why the invasion by western power happend.Why are didn't they invade Algeria,SouthAfrica,Ghana and other countries at peace.Its a simple logic,if you want to live in recluse and serve Allah as it pleases you,built a community for yourself in the forest and remain there.Why forcing other people to belive in join u?You are heaping praises on China and Russia who are the guys behind the scene fueling crisis by selling Arms and ammunation to terrorist all over the world.We should be ashamed that such senceless killings are happening in Africa while other Regions are moving on.From Somalia,Mali,Ivory Coast are cries of war masterminded by Islamic faithfully and fully supported by people like some posters on these forum.

And most time,we are bothered with news about Ghana this,Ghana that.Mshew

Who is this Musiwa 11,your comments are irritatiing.Do you know how many people these Animals have injustly killed?Your Religion Islam is the problem of this world and people like you that supports violence can go and join your fellow blood sucking demons.

I will pay 700k cash after inspection.

I told my GF that my total pay park for the year is 6 million while I earn close to 8 million per annum.I don't think its wise to tell them everything.This will help you save the money you did not discose.My view.

He was set up by GEJ.Mumus.

GEJ and OBJ drink coffee everyday.Forget d Media propaganda.dey just dey laugh.

GEJ will win in 2015 with a landslide victory.I said it in 2011 and and saying it again.Their is no credible opposition.What we have are loud mouth Internet and paper rats shouting merger,merger,power must return to the North with no clear manifesto and how they want to fix Nigeria.The same OBJ,Tinubu,IBB, Atiku and co will sell you votes for Oil wells come 2015.

@ Arabasala.next time,don't come here spewing trash.we will see who wins 2015.We won't vote for your parasitic friends.

@ Aribasala,u must be high on sometn.You seems a coward pissing in your pant cos some rag torn parasite high on cow dung mutter some words.Your refrence to the structure of the Military tells me you are not abreast with the current developments in the Nigeria security circle.Please,do another research and stop hallucinating.
I said it in 2011 that GEJ will win the election when some morons like you littered this forum with Hypotheis that GEJ will not win the election.He did.He will again.Please,refer to this post in 2015.
You responses shows that you are to daft to understand why aboki are desparate.All they have stolen is been taken back from them.They have lost it and they only option available to them is to remain parasites or secede and depend on grants from Terrorist organisations like Hamas,Al-queda,Hezzobolla and Iran.

GeJ will win again and again and remain their till 2019.Power may get to North Central much more easier and quicker than your Blood sucking Fulani vampires.
I also see how you underestimated the power of the Americans.Go to bed.you know nothing.

Can I pay 500k?
