French envoy to UN discusses Mali conflict

The UN Security Council has unanimously approved plans for an African-led military intervention in Mali aimed at reunifying the embattled North African state. The resolution, approved in New York on Thursday afternoon, calls for political reconciliation, elections and the training of the country's security forces before any operation is launched to reclaim Mali's northern areas. Geraud Araud, the French Ambassador to the United Nations, talks to Al Jazeera about the conflict in Mali.
