The militants have progressively moved south. At the request of the Malian government, France earlier launched an air offensive against the militants. France is Mali's former colonial ruler.
Then France launched a ground offensive, along with forces of Mali and the Economic Community of West African States, called ECOWAS. Islamic extremists seized control of northern Mali after Malian soldiers ousted the government last March.
French troops have faced strong resistance from the Islamic force, said to be a well-organized coalition of militant groups. One of the Islamist groups leading the coalition is Ansar Dine, which means "Defenders of Faith." The group follows a form of Islam known as Salafism. It seeks to rule Mali under a severe form of Sharia law.
Ansar Dine had joined with ethnic Tuareg rebels last April to oust government forces in northern Mali. In June, Ansar Dine turned its weapons against the lesser-armed Tuareg fighters and seized control of the area.本周，法国和非洲军队联合起来试图驱逐马里北部的伊斯兰武装分子。这些武装分子已逐渐向南挺进。法国在早些时候应马里政府的请求向武装分子发动了空袭。马里曾是法国的殖民地。
随后法国与马里以及西非国家经济共同体（ECOWAS）的军队联手发起了地面进攻。在去年三月马里军人将政府赶下台后，这些伊斯兰极端分子就控制了马里北部。
法军部队遭到了这支伊斯兰军队的强烈抵抗，据说该军队是一个组织严密的军事联盟，领导者之一是一个名为“伊斯兰卫士”的组织——该名寓意“信仰捍卫者”。此组织信奉萨拉菲派，是伊斯兰教的其中一个分支，追求采用严格的伊斯兰教教法来统治马里。
去年4月，“伊斯兰卫士”与少数民族图阿雷格部族叛军联合驱逐了马里北部的政府军。而在6月，“伊斯兰卫士”过河拆桥，调转枪口反攻装备不佳的图阿雷格武装分子，并控制了该地区。
