According to accounts, both served together in the Sahara region during operations against foreign forces, an experience that is said to have shaped their views on national security and exposed alleged clandestine links between elements of the military and terrorist groups.
The president’s condolence visit underscores the close personal and professional ties between the two leaders amid ongoing security challenges in Mali.
