As soon as Air Algerie's debris site was located in Tilemas, Mali, a French military detachment moved towards and have secured the debris site almost immediately remembering the fight over the lack of security at the debris sight of MH17. The black boxes have been found. The French military detachment was already stationed in Mali since the 2013 coup in Mali that sparked the Taureg Rebellion/Azwad MLN. France has sent several military detachments to Mali, Central African Republic, Cote d'Ivoire and other Francophone countries to back up their political allies in office and secure other valuable natural resources.
