"Furthermore, the former colonial power sees itself as at risk of becoming a target for terrorist attacks. Since 2010, radical Islamists have held four French employees of the Areva energy company captive in Mali. And the terror network al-Qaeda is now threatening further kidnappings and attacks in France and against the approximately 5,000 French citizens living in Mali."This is absurd. Waging war against Islamists in Mali is the surest way to invite terrorist attacks against the French.
""In the long term, France has interests in securing resources in the Sahel - particularly oil and uranium, which the French energy company Areva has been extracting for decades in neighboring Nigeria," said Sold."That's more honest.
Reminder that the fighting in Mali is a consequence of NATO overthrowing Qaddafi, and the French were the aggressors in Libya, Syria and now Mali.
