BAMAKO, Mali (AP) - French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said Friday that his country will not tolerate the wave of African migrants that continue to risk their lives to enter Europe illegally.
"Even though I understand the reason for this illegal immigration, I don't approve it," Kouchner told reporters in Bamako, the capital of Mali. Kouchner was in the West African nation to attend the swearing-in of the Mali's President Amadou Toumani Toure for a second term.
"Returns must be expected. ... France cannot accept all the world's poor," he said.
