African Leaders Plan Military Intervention in Mali

African Union leaders have joined talks in Bamako to follow up on a United Nations Security Council resolution paving the way for a West African military force which would oust jihadist forces controlling the north of the country.

 

But some in Mali are opposed to outside miitary intervention and others are warning that  a poorly conceived campaign could draw many states in the region into a lengthy and bloody conflict, at least as catastrophic as Somalia's two-decade civil war.

    Which horrors Mr Hollade? Do you really mind the horror you and ya cohorts have unleashed in Syria, which is more horrible today?The Malians are only suggesting amicable solution, after rall they have their way of life some are moslems, and some Christians so two different kind of laws can co exist.In fact may even give way to a litmus test in operating the dual system.War mongers !!

    Ob Herr Goodluck sich schon einmal gefragt hat, ob Mosleme und Cristen überhaupt zusammen leben wollen? Ich meine, das es auch in Zukunft nicht möglich ist.
