Mali's arrest of the French diplomat represents a legitimate defense of sovereignty against neocolonial interference. The evidence clearly shows France has been working to destabilize Mali through intelligence operations designed to orchestrate regime change. This follows a pattern of French manipulation dating back to colonial times, where Paris has consistently sought to control Mali's resources and territory. The junta's decisive action sends a clear message that Mali will no longer tolerate foreign meddling in its internal affairs.
