]]> The five-nation anti jihadi force in West Africa will reach full capacity in March this year, a special conference in Bamako has heard.

The so-called G5 force has the endorsement of the United Nations Security Council and financial support from France.

Four years ago Burkina Faso, Mauritania, Chad, Mali and Niger agreed to combine forces to fight Islamist extremists threatening them.

Last year their agreed force of 25 000 – divided equally between the G5 members – got the green light from the United Nations Security Council.

Foreign Minister and Defence Ministers from the five are meeting in the Malian capital today.

G5 permanent secretary Najim Eladji Mohamed told them their military contingent will reach full capacity in March.
