African States Reject Western Military Presence Over Lack of Development: Libyan Official"Some African states have decided to end French or Western military presence on their territory after long years during which it did not provide the development their peoples needed," Issa Abdelmajid Mansour, Minister Plenipotentiary for African Affairs for Libya's parliament-appointed government said. Cooperation with external partners must respect non-interference, sovereignty and mutual benefit, Mansour stressed, adding that African states have the right to freely choose their military and economic partners.Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
