French soldiers fill up their tank at a local petrol station in Sevare, some 620 kilometers (385 miles) north of Mali&#x27;s capital Bamako, Friday, Jan. 25, 2013. The French currently have some 2,400 forces in the country and have said that they will stay as long as needed in Mali, a former French colony. However, they have called for African nations to take the lead in fortifying the Malian army&#x27;s efforts. (AP Photo/Jerome Delay)
