　　West African troops began arriving in the Malian capital, Bamako, to help French and government forces fight Islamists in control of the country's north.

　　Colonel A. Mounkaila is an ECOWAS official from Niger.

　　"We are very happy to see the first African soldiers disembarking onto the soil of Mali. A promise was made they be here by the 18th of January and it was kept."

　　Meanwhile, Malian Foreign Minister Tieman Coulibaly said the current military resources on the ground were insufficient to repel Islamic rebels in the West African country.
