[Reashot Xigwin]

This is why I mourn for the fall of the Soviet Union .

The MNLA shouldn't asked for supports from a Terrorist group like the Ansar Dine in the first place.

I wish all the Easterners joined forces and gave all these Western forces a good beating so that they will forget the word "COLONIZE" and behave as humans!

You missed the cold war.

NATO had offered their help to French government but they wanted to go solo, there ought to be a very strong reason for this.For the time being only God and French government know what is their hidden motive and objective behind this.

there is nothing hidden about France intention Mali is reach in gold and uranium and France want that for itself .

China didn't need a single bullet to nullify western influence in Africa, but Western need to resort military Armada...

That is because Chinese people don't have a Colonial mentality like the British and the French.

Commander of French ground forces in Mali. I think he oozes colonialism, the moustache, the hat, the ton of brass on the chest... certainly counterproductive to any efforts of this being portrayed as a non-neocolonialist intervention.

Love the Napoleonic cannon in the background. The French have nothing better to do than play-act some 17th century glories.
