		</div><p>France&#8217;s president Emmanuel Macron is highlighting his determination to crush extremism with a scheduled visit to French-led military forces fighting jihadist groups in West Africa. During Friday&#8217;s trip to Mali, the new president&#8217;s first foray outside Europe since taking power, Mr Macron will be briefed on the inner workings of Operation Barkhane.</p>
<p>It is France&#8217;s largest overseas military mission, with more than 4,000 soldiers in Mali, Niger, Chad, Burkina Faso and Mauritania. He was expected to visit a French base in the eastern city of Gao. </p>
<p>Mr Macron repeatedly pledged ahead of his May 7 election that fighting terror would be his priority, after multiple attacks in France since 2015 that killed more than 230 people.</p>
<p>Most of the West African extremist groups France is fighting trace their origins to al Qaida&#8217;s North Africa branch.</p>
