President Francois Hollande, Timbuktu Victory Lap
French President Francois Hollande conducted a "victory tour" in Timbuktu, Mali, following an assault against militants. Reports indicate that French paratroopers took the city without firing a single shot, as the militants had already fled. The hosts characterize the cheering crowds and the "iconic community" narrative as staged media events.
