Jean-Yves Le Drian's departure is rued from Brazzaville to N'Djamena
Jean-Yves Le Drian was removed as foreign minister in the most recent reshuffle after more than ten successive years in the French government, first at defence and then at foreign affairs. This is a loss for numerous African leaders, for whom the minister from Brittany was their go-to contact in France.
