Here’s what we know:

• Earlier this week, French president Francois Hollande visited Mali’s capital city, Bamako.
• While he was there, he was given a camel.
• Hollande took the camel back to France. (Did the camel fly coach? We don’t know that.)
• Now a Malian man living in a refugee camp has claimed that the camel is his, and that it had been stolen from him.
• Meanwhile, French media has reported that Hollande is returning the camel to Mali “because of the difficulty of surviving in France’s cold weather.”
• Upon its return, the camel will be sent to live with a Malian farmer—not the man in the refugee camp who says it’s his.
• It is unclear if President Hollande is aware of the allegations of theft.
• Apparently President Hollande was unaware of France’s climate before he brought a goddamn camel there.
• As of this writing, the camel has had no comment.
