French invasion of Mali: double standards of "democratic empires"

Over the past two years, world attention has been riveted on the Middle East, where the “Arab Spring” has developed, which one can already call the “Arab chaos”. The entire democratic Western public watches with delight as the "rebellious nations" one after another overthrow the "rotten regimes." Meanwhile, a little more to the south, in Africa, no less exciting processes are taking place, which the “democratic media” prefer not to notice. For example, today French troops invaded Mali, without a UN mandate and, in general, without any serious explanation.

What is happening in Mali and why is it important? Read about this in a new article by Alexander Rogers.



Double standards of world media

In particular, I noted that a civil war has been going on for more than half a year in Mali, and the liberal media simply ignore this fact. Recall how massively our consciousness was processed with messages from Libya and Syria with pictures of the "atrocities" of Colonel Gaddafi and Dr. Assad. There seems to be a similar situation - and dead silence.

Why? It seems at first glance, everything is the same as in the stories of the liberal media about Syria: various groups of Muslims and Tuareg people rebelled against the rule of the tyrant president. Only one difference - the president in this case PROZAPADNY.

And no longer “the people rebelled against the tyrant”, but “Islamist terrorists want to overthrow the legitimate power”. Although the same "radical Islamists" are fighting against Assad in Syria, but there they are "sons of bitches, but our sons of bitches." Double standards in all its glory.

But information wars do not exhaust everything; everything is just beginning with them. But let's order.

Background to the conflict

Events in Mali last year developed as a mediocre adventure novel. It is obvious that somewhere in the depths of the US State Department there are people who are deeply worried that they could not be realized in Hollywood. However, judge for yourself.

April 29 The next presidential election was to take place on 2012.

But literally two months before them, March 22, a mutiny broke out among the military. The military seized the presidential palace, television and barracks with arsenals weapons. They stated that they are creating a "National Committee for the Restoration of Democracy and the Revival of the State." The uprising was led by a certain captain Amadou Sanogo.

For your information, Captain Amadou Sanoy was trained in the United States, first as part of the International Military Education and Training (IMET) program in Georgia and then in the Marine Corps in Quantico, Virginia.

8 April overthrown President Amadou Toumani Toure wrote a letter of resignation. That is, there was no need for a coup, because he was ready to transfer power by legal means, which would have happened without a coup in a couple of months.

12 April Dionkund Traore is sworn in as president of Mali. Attention: WITHOUT ELECTIONS! "Democratic" president, whom no one chose. He was appointed by the "international community."

And why all this was necessary, we learn from the following message: On May 21, thousands of unarmed citizens of Mali seized the presidential palace, demanding the resignation of interim President Dionkund Traore. That is, the people “hate the“ appointed president ”, and they would never choose democratically. But someone (it will be seen later that France and the United States) really needed to stage it, therefore the whole performance was flipped over with a coup.

Chef, all gone

But things did not go as planned. 6 of April, taking advantage of the confusion in the capital, revolted the Tuareg, proclaiming the independent Tuareg state Azawad (located north of Timbuktu).

Then the Islamist organizations Ansar ad-Din, the Movement for Unity and Jihad in West Africa, the Al-Qaida of Maghreb and others became more active. 5 May Ansar ad-Din captures Timbuktu.

According to numerous reports, the "Islamists" committed an act of vandalism and destroyed a number of objects on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Including the tomb of ISLAMIC (sic!) Saint Mahmoud ben Amar. Have you ever seen a devout believer destroying his own shrines? This is more like a provocation of some completely different special services, designed to expose the rebels to full barbarians, vandals.

By the way, the ranks of the rebels were considerably enlarged by refugees from Libya: the Tuareg were supported by the former "loyalists" of Gaddafi belonging to related tribes, and their former opponents from among the hired "freedom fighters" fight in the ranks of the Islamists. For example, the troops of the Tuareg are commanded by Mohamed Al-Najim, who had previously served in the army of the Libyan Jamihiriya as a colonel.

As a result, the country was actually divided into three parts controlled by the Tuaregs, the Islamists and the puppet government. Tuaregs cooperate with the Islamists, but do not support the idea of ​​creating a state based on Sharia, defending a secular form of government.

Who is really “good” and who is “evil”?

Evil terrorists are trying to overthrow the legitimate and democratic president? Or are the good rebels trying to overthrow the tyrant? To answer this question, we need to dig a little in the information about the economy of Mali.

A quick acquaintance with the summary data tells us that Mali is rich in minerals and is a tasty morsel. The country has rich deposits of iron ore, bauxite, lead, manganese, tin, zinc, copper, lithium, silver, gold, uranium, diamonds. In particular, Mali’s gold reserves are ranked as the third largest in Africa. The main deposits of gold, diamonds and uranium are located in the southern part of the country (this is an important detail that we will need later).

At the same time, the standard of living in Mali is one of the lowest in the world (205 -th place). Over 36% of the population lives below the poverty line. People with higher education are practically absent, the only university has long been closed.

Rich country with a poor population? And the president, who was educated in Nice, amid illiterate peasants? How all this is familiar. I would also rebel.

Hard truth

So what do we have at the exit? On the one hand, the illegal “president” hated by the people, which allows Western corporations to rob their country. Moreover, his power rests solely on bayonets (now also on foreign ones, since they cannot cope with their own).

On the other hand, the impoverished population of a rich country, driven to despair by the systematic plundering of its natural resources. Which not only rebelled on the outskirts, but also arranges thousands of anti-government demonstrations in the capital.

And at the same time, the western “democratic public” does not stand on the side of “democracy,” as she always stated, but on the side of her business interests, as she always did.

However, nothing surprising: after all, the USA supports the dictatorship in Saudi Arabia, and the most obscene, in the 21 century, who annually executes dozens of people on charges of witchcraft! Former US presidents cannibal Bokassa supported, why is Obama worse?

The values ​​of “liberal democracy” exist only in the minds of a trusting and zombie media “de-demise”, and the rulers of Western countries themselves do not believe in this nonsense.

The cynicism of trampling "liberal values"

In addition to the cynicism already indicated in the choice of the parties to support and suppress what is happening in Mali by the liberal media, there are many more facts that emphasize the depth of this cynicism.

For example, French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, at the beginning of August (that is, under Sarkozy!), Stated that he considers the military invasion of Mali "desirable and inevitable." The change of power in France from the liberal Sarkozy to the “socialist” Hollande had no effect on this course. What is the difference, what kind of ideology does the party hide behind, if all of them are funded by big capital (which actually determines the real politics in “democratic” countries) ?!

Moreover, since spring, Burkina Faso has been trying to act as a mediator in resolving the conflict. They are trying to organize negotiations between the Islamists, the Tuaregs, and the Mali government in the capital of Burkina Faso, Ouagadougou. But the American and French rulers had long ago decided for themselves that there would be no peace settlement.

As another proof of this, one can cite the reports of “Reuters” and the “Associated Press” that the American leadership has been preparing numerous instructors for the transfer to Africa for some time. In particular, the second brigade of the First Infantry Division of the US Army. “If we want to prepare our allies for military operations, the brigade is the main source of personnel. They are ready for this. We are only waiting for the order of the head of the State Department, ”said General David Rodriguez, the newly appointed head of the US African Command.

The staff of the second brigade includes 3500 people, but the coaching teams will be approximately 200 people. In the event that African troops need speed training, a battalion of the second brigade with a total number of 800 men will go to the scene.

By the way, I always wondered why the US Department of Defense called it that way? After all, according to the logic of things, it should be called the "Ministry of Attack"! After all, it is only this that deals with the whole history of its existence. But the hypocrisy of the State Department extends even to this.

And the fact that now, instead of the occupation corps, the US will send military instructors to the natives to kill each other with their own hands, causes only contempt. However, nothing surprising either - their own American soldiers were already tired of wondering how they could “guard the US” by fighting in other parts of the world. Yes, and high losses in previous wars caused too much discontent among the thinking part of the US population.

Another example of Western hypocrisy is statements like "It is necessary to ensure the creation of a government of national unity, give it the necessary power and extend this power to the north of Mali, which will inevitably be accompanied by military intervention, which France can support, but will not initiate."

Naturally, the initiator of the invasion will be Western-controlled puppet organizations such as ECOWAS and the African Union. And the puppets joyfully demonstrate their readiness to act as instigators. So ECOWAS is ready to send about 3300 soldiers to Mali, and the head of the African Union calls for the invasion of Mali by NATO countries.

Regarding the attempts to suppress the uprising by the rulers of the neighboring countries, I recall the immortal poem Beranger in the treatment of Alexander Gradsky:

Proclaimed sacred union,
By the will of heaven, the indispensable
Mutual made peace -

A coward, a fool, a robber and a banker.
(In the original, by the way, "Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria").

Kohl saw the sacred union,
What is somewhere the venerable king

Fell from the throne, instantly to the throne
He will be planted again.

In this way, the West is trying to pretend that it “has nothing to do with it, but has asked for it.” Although all sensible people understand who orders the music, but such a game for the public is designed only for "suckers."

By the way, the NATO charter does not provide for invasion of sovereign countries that do not threaten one or more NATO countries. But who care about the statutes now?

The outbreak of war

Last December, the UN approved a plan to send infantrymen to 3000 in Mali to carry out peacekeeping and humanitarian functions (note, not to suppress the uprising!). At the same time, UN officials said they expected the deployment of troops no earlier than September.

But gentlemen, the capitalist imperialists cannot wait until September! Because the rebels moved south, threatening ... no, not the capital and the president (who needs this puppet?!) ... threatening to seize the resource-rich areas.

And every day of mining mining idle time will deprive of some fat money bags (I suspect that French) about 150 kilograms of gold. And then there is no need for propriety or some kind of silly formality such as UN sanctions.

Yesterday, January 11, 2013, "fake socialist", French President Francois Hollande admitted that French troops invaded Mali, helping the soldiers of the local puppet dictator to repel the rebel offensive to the south. At the same time correcting the UN Charter, the principles of the Peace of Westphalia, the principle of the right of nations to self-determination, the sovereignty of Mali and even the French Constitution (which is no big deal).

I open the thesis in detail. First, Hollande has no UN mandate for any military action in Mali (he could not get it).

The UN Security Council has scheduled a military operation for the fall, saying that the peacekeepers will act "respecting the sovereignty, territorial integrity and unity of the country." But what makes Hollande is a military invasion, and during an invasion, respect for sovereignty is impossible (just as with rape it is impossible to preserve the virginity of the victim).

The fact that the illegitimate president “invited” the French does not change the status of the invasion. Since the precedents in history have already been. For example, at the beginning of the 17 of the 20th century, False Dmitrys “invited” the Poles, but by all historians these campaigns are treated as aggressive.

Secondly, the uprising in Mali is an internal affair of Mali, in which he (and no one else) has the right to interfere. The people of Mali have the right to overthrow an illegitimate government. And we remember that the government is illegitimate and illegal, since there were no elections, which means that democratic procedures for legitimizing power have not been followed.

Thirdly, he was in such a hurry that he did not bother himself with respecting the internal laws of France. According to the French Constitution, the commencement of hostilities outside France is possible only with the approval of the country's parliament. Parliament should consider this issue on Monday, January 14. And yesterday was Friday, January 11, and the French army was already fighting!

The law is not retroactive. You can not do something first, and then pass a law allowing it. I apologize for my French, but Mr. Hollande and his ministers do not care about law, law, morality, European values ​​and other myths of the modern Western world. Their only real value is gold.

However, they are not alone in their nihilism. They have already been supported by the heads of the United Kingdom and the United States (the relevant official messages were published).

The balance of power

To date, according to available sources of information, the rebels have exhibited only about two thousand people (although, perhaps, their number is already much more). Armed, apparently, primitive rifles and, at best, old Kalashnikov assault rifles.

The coalition opposing them includes:

- roughly 7300 government army soldiers

- about 2000 gendarmes

- 3300 ECOWAS soldier

- 3000 African Union soldier

- 3000 UN soldiers (as long as they are, but armed and trained with the latest in military science and technology)

- until an unknown number of French soldiers, with support aviation.

However, numerical and technical superiority never guaranteed victory. Little Bohemia in the days of the Hussite Wars reflected several crusades of the "United Europe" of its time. Because their faith and spirit were stronger than the crusaders' iron armor.

Moreover, in the neighboring Central African Republic (CAR), the same rebels are attacking the capital of the local dictator, Basiz, so France and its allies will have to disperse their attention and resources. That in conditions of a protracted economic crisis in Europe can lead to unpredictable consequences.

The most important thing that happened on January 11 is that the “liberal” imperial world system has dealt a sensitive blow to its own fundamentals and principles with its actions, once again showing its true face. In full accordance with the concepts of Sergey Pereslegin, a situational victory in the power space may further lead to a more global defeat in the information one.

        This is not the first conflict that shows that an ultramodern army is capable of quickly destroying the state’s infrastructure, destroying all heavy equipment, and then problems begin - guerrilla warfare with small groups armed with small arms, and setting up land mines, until they came up with something better - to assemble a new army from the local and let them fight among themselves.

          It’s funny that the French will be killed with NATO weapons. They helped to sweep Gaddafi on their own head. After all, a worthy ruler was there. He helped the orphans, widows, the poor, and as soon as he decided to introduce his currency into the Arab region, he immediately became a tyrant dictator.

There are children, I repeat CHILDREN are sitting in ambushes of the invaders, in Iraq, for example, the enemy’s age was from 7 years old, in Afghanistan, amers roughly say this - today a child is a warrior tomorrow — that is, children are simply killed despite their age.

        But I think that the base is not a base, it is a couple of rusty berths, it is necessary to start building barracks, bunkers and pillboxes, and already in Syria to gain a foothold, specifically, with a large and full-fledged naval base, up to the ability to repair the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, with a large personnel etc.

            Assad has already competently voiced his position, knowingly his Stalinist "Brothers and Sisters!" were greeted with general ecstasy. He showed that the government is strong and ready for negotiations, although everyone understands perfectly well that all this was not started for negotiations with Assad, And such a bold proposal can definitely follow only against the background of the success of the current government, That is, from a diplomatic point of view, the move is very verified and timely making everyone understand that it is impossible to discount him as a real political force.

      Afghanistan is located on the oldest trade routes. In it, the British set up more than a century ago a clock-working system for the cultivation and sale of opium. The Taliban do not like drugs, but ... What does all this mean?

          The coalition led by the United States restored poppy fields that the Taliban destroyed, we see that only the territory on which poppy grows is under the complete control of the United States. Drug trafficking increased 69-70 times, and under the Taliban it amounted to only 1% of the world drug traffic. I’m saying that it’s quite difficult to get gold, but the poppy itself grows, just harvest and then make 1 grams of high-quality heroin from 15 gram, make 15 medium-quality heroins from these 100 grams and so on. 1 gram of pure heroin causes an overdose in any person, that is, poison if it is not diluted, and then the high-quality heroin is used by seasoned nariks for a little bit. And it turns out that with 1 kg of pure heroin we make a lot of money.
          And if the United States and its jackals really fought for world peace, then the first thing they would be would be to burn the remnants of poppy fields, but they restored the fields and put pressure on the pity of the world community that local drug lords would have nothing to live!

By May 10, 1940 the French had 93 French divisions, 10 English divisions and 1 Polish division, and the Germans had only 89 divisions, the war ended on June 24, 1940 France surrendered to Germany and before that France declared war on Germany on September 3, 1939, however, she did not engage in hostilities and on June 17, 1940 the French government turned to Germany with a request for a ceasefire. However, good warriors.

Do you think the French and German troops are better than the US troops? Of all the French, the most combat-ready army is the Foreign Legion, but it's an expensive pleasure , not pulled with the euro crisis.

They said about the amers that they were already living with a good life and did not quite understand what it was they were being driven so. And so their legion was constantly replenished even from the Russian Empire. By the way, essentially Africa came to them from the Russian Empire and conquered them.

          You would have looked at France’s plans to attack the USSR, before Hitler attacked them, their plans didn’t exactly coincide with ours, they seriously considered the USSR to be an enemy country. And in World War I, for the salvation of Paris, in response we received a quiet sitting in the trenches of the French, while Germany suffered a major blow to us. And after World War I, instead of the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles, we received intervention from France. Here you have an allied France.

        French Defense Ministry: Two special forces and 17 militants died in Somalia

        The French Ministry of Defense has confirmed the death of two soldiers during a special operation in Somalia, reports Agence France-Presse. According to Minister of Defense Jean-Yves Le Drian, 17 militants were also killed in action.

        The special operation was carried out by French foreign intelligence DGSE. The Minister of Defense expressed condolences to the families of the dead soldiers and confirmed that the purpose of the special operation was to release the French secret agent Denis Alleks, who has been held captive by militants since 2009.
        The fate of Alex is currently unclear. According to the Associated Press, citing the French Ministry of Defense, the hostage was killed, writes Lenta.Ru.

        According to Agence France-Presse, Dennis Allex is alive. This statement was spread today by Islamists from the Al-Shabab group. "He will be sentenced within two days," the message says. According to the Islamists, they also have a French soldier wounded during a special operation in captivity.
        Earlier, Islamist militant leader Sheikh Mohamed Abdullah said French commandos failed to release a secret agent taken hostage in southern Somalia. According to him, in a shootout that occurred during an unsuccessful operation, several special forces were killed.

        According to eyewitnesses, four military helicopters were used in the operation in the territory controlled by the Islamist movement Jamaat al-Shabaab, 110 kilometers south of Mogadishu. One of the local residents said that he saw several corpses in the morning, and one of the dead was white. Witnesses report three civilian deaths.
        According to Western media, the French military attacked militants of an Islamic group in the Somali city of Bulomarer. Their goal was to release a French military adviser captured by militants back in 2009 in Mogadishu and held in a fortified Islamist camp. According to unofficial information, commandos landed near a lair of extremists from a helicopter and destroyed part of the militants. Probably, they decided to hurry with the operation in Somalia, because there were fears that the Islamists would kill the hostage.

          I’ve got rid of it, they shoot around and the special forces counted how many militants they killed? Especially when hundreds of machine guns shoot at you. They simply said that they didn’t show full losers that they killed 17 militants, but for me they got into a banal ambush and the militants probably didn’t suffer at all, the benefit is experience against amers in Somalia is.

            In Toulouse, special forces of the gendarmerie worked. In Mali, most likely worked Commandos de Rechercheet d Action dans le Profondeur (CRAP) from 2er REP. And with a very high degree of probability (I did not find direct evidence), soldiers of the 2nd Parachute Regiment of the Legion were deployed in Mali. Without knowing the details of the operation, it is difficult to judge what exactly happened there and how the losses were sustained. But I dare to assure you that 2er REP are soldiers who have recently returned from Afghanistan and with great combat experience.

The main thing for NATO is the sale of a hero (more expensive than gold and growing year-round under the control of the US Department of State) and minimal losses and therefore sit on their own bases.

                Not very expensive. Private legionnaire 2er REP in the first year of service receives 1460 euros. Given that in Mali, the surcharge for staying abroad is 3817 euros, and taking into account hostilities, depending on the intensity of hostilities, and depending on climatic conditions, a maximum of 7000-7500 euros. Well and further premiums from the base rate depending on the service life. So it’s not for a long euro that they go to the legion to serve.

    The people's deputy of Primorye sent Kim Jong-un a picture in which the DPRK leader on horseback treads the flags of America and South Korea. A deputy of the Legislative Assembly of Primorsky Krai in honor of the birthday of the leader of North Korea sent him a picture that depicts Kim Jong-un on a horse. A steed on the canvas tramples the flags of South Korea and the USA.

    A precedent in the arena of world politics, frankly, is not very pleasant!
    France is not a superpower! She is simply not able to dictate any conditions to anyone, without external support. And the point is not even the number of strike forces (and France, do not forget, a nuclear power!).
    Currently, both France and the entire Western European coalition,
    It does not have significant military-political immunity against the effects of any serious military threats. Hence the convulsive actions of NATO coalitionists.
    I don’t know how much Russian diplomatic leverage has worked out over the Syrian issue, but the topic has been a bit sack lately.

    I allow myself a couple of comments.
    Firstly, the coup d'état in Bamako was not particularly threatened by the economic interests of France. The only thing that worried public opinion was that in a country that is part of Francophonie (the Commonwealth of French-speaking states), which was still considered relatively stable, everything suddenly went to pieces. Maybe the media were silent about the situation in Mali, but not in France.
    But to a much greater extent, the coup in Bamako touched the African Union, which reacts very sharply to the unconstitutional change of power in African countries. There, automatic suspension of membership and further - until the military intervention.
    Now about the events in the north of Mali. What happened there is directly related to previous Libyan affairs. From there flowed weapons and militants for the Islamists. First, the Tuareg revolted, which he always fed and at the same time kept Gaddafi in check. He nurtured the idea of ​​creating the United States of Africa and played an important peacekeeping role, keeping the Tuareg-prone excesses from anti-government protests, in particular in Mali. After the death of Gaddafi, the orphaned Tuaregs did not hold back. However, they were quickly supplanted by the Islamists, who took advantage of the Tuareg’s victory in the north. Moreover, there was no talk of any rebellion against a specific not too legitimate president. The Tuaregs simply took advantage of the confusion in Bamako.
    As for the upcoming ECOWAS operation. It is expected that it will be deployed no earlier than September, but the Islamists recently launched a preemptive strike, which led to limited French intervention in order to support government forces. In this case, it is impossible to talk about violating the sovereignty of Mali, because the French are there with the consent of the government (well, the one that is). By the way, the entire population of the south warmly welcomes this support.
    The counting of opposing forces in general has nothing to do with reality. Only ECOWAS (a regional association that has taken the initiative) is ready to send troops. 3000 Afro-Union soldiers this is not at all a question, as well as the dispatch of UN peacekeepers.
    Government forces have 2-3 relatively combat-ready battalions (paratroopers, etc.). They are not enough. Without external support, they will not be able to cope with well-armed militants. The forces of Islamists and Tuaregs are more difficult to calculate, but, I think, the author is not far from the truth.
    French neocolonialism is a separate issue.

        No, Tuaregs and Islamists are not in union. Moreover, now they are in contra. As already written, the Tuaregs captured the north of Mali and announced the creation of their state. But the Islamists very quickly bombarded them with Libyan weapons and seized power almost everywhere. Islamists do not need a Tuareg state.

    Poverty, hungry Europe in ancient and Middle Ages also did not want to work, she lived due to the robbery of her neighbors.
    The whole history of the peoples of Europe is an endless predatory war against neighbors, first neighbors, then distant ones.
    The colonial French empire collapsed in the 60 years, when it was thrown out of Algeria and from other countries, and now the land is completely gone, the loot comes to an end, and so many loans have been taken that it will never pay off.
    What is left? Only robbery. Moreover, the USSR does not exist and there is no one to ask the victims of aggression.

    The author should know that France has always stood apart in NATO, even. During the Cold War, it twice left the military structure of the bloc. And, today, France and the United States are not connected by family ties. In its former colonies, France protects its economic interests, which is understandable. It will most likely end with the election of a president and the calming of the country. And finally, it would be nice for amateur journalists to know the situation in the post-war history of the West. Europe.

    Dear!
    I repeat once again - France in this case is just a “whipping boy” and nothing more. There are probably people on the site, say, who are not alien to military specifics (or maybe someone is not only a combat soldier, but also a staff officer).
    North Africa is a springboard and very convenient for imposing any actions, including force, on the whole of Europe. Remember Rommel with his victorious marches across northern Africa. What did the Nazis want there?
    They had never heard of fuel (oil, uranium, etc.) in this region at that time, and yet. a lot of heads were folded, both of the Allies and the Nazis in
    Germany's North African operation.
    The German General Staff were far from fools, read the notes of Halder, Kleist, Brauchitsch, and many others - North Africa was given great importance. Do you remember Napoleon? Why the fuck does he care?
    was there to do? But no, he got stuck and, in fact, ran into a not very pleasant procedure for the occupation of purely hostile states (the same thing happened with Hitler’s troops, no matter how General Eisenhower jumped out of his pants!)/
    Therefore, it is very important not to destabilize North Africa in the same way as the countries of the Middle East.

    According to the article. The author is right that the West has double standards and one of the reasons for France's intervention is economic. But either out of ignorance or deliberately, he distorted the facts preceding this event and, accordingly, the consequences.
    About the military coup in Mali, it is said that it was carried out by Captain Amadou Sanogo, who was trained in the United States, and that there was no point in the coup, because the current president was already ready to transfer power legally, which would have happened without the coup in a couple of months. They say that the Americans and the French staged a show with a coup, but the Tuaregs rebelled, began to threaten French business, and France launched an invasion.
    Of course, the author’s desire to show the inside of imperialism is commendable, but incorrect facts cannot be interpreted so ignorantly.

    Firstly, the Tuareg uprising began before the coup happened. Separatism in northern Mali has been smoldering at least since independence. At this historical moment, the fall of Gaddafi and the appearance of his fleeing supporters in Mali played a role. The Tuaregs have new forces and means to fight for independence.
    The reason for the coup in Mali was precisely the military’s dissatisfaction with the inability (or unwillingness) of the current government to restore order in the north of the country. If we connect this with the fact that Captain Amadou Sanogo was trained in the United States, then the Americans and the French were dissatisfied with the strengthening of Gaddafi’s supporters in Mali, and the last thing they thought about was economic interests.

    Secondly, Dioncounde Traore is not a president, but an acting president. The peaceful demonstrators who opposed him did not seize the palace, but supported the line of Amadou Sanogo for the fight against the Tuaregs. There are interethnic contradictions. All the same, the Tuaregs probably did not act very friendly towards the blacks in the governing bodies in the territory of Azawad after the victory. So, in order to get the support of the people in the elections and at the same time prevent the seizure of the gold-mining regions of the south (and the Tuaregs are forced to seize them, because they have no oil, but need money) acting. president and appealed to the UN. At first they wanted to carry out peacekeeping with ECOWAS forces, but when the blacks realized who they would have to face, they hesitated. Well, France had to get involved, because the events take place in their former colony. In Mali, even the official language is French, and not some kind of “Malian”. The French are acting there at the request of the legitimate government, so there can be no talk of any violation of the UN Charter. There is most likely no violation of the French constitution either. I don’t want to look into this issue, but most likely, in emergency cases, the President of France can decide to use troops immediately, and receive parliamentary approval later. Such a norm exists in most normal states, otherwise everything can be wasted until parliament makes a decision.

    Thirdly, the French decision is welcomed by all ECOWAS countries. Because many of them also have Tuaregs living in the north and no one wants separatism to increase.
    In addition, for some reason the author of the article overestimated the forces opposing the Tuaregs. The same 3000 African soldiers are represented in three contingents - ECOWAS, the African Union and the UN. In fact, these are three thousand people who should have been allocated by the ECOWAS countries as a UN contingent and no
    armed and trained with the latest military science and technology

    And there are only about 500 French people, they say.

      So on to the comments. Many people, I see, are predicting problems for France, saying that they will get bogged down in Mali, the French will get screwed, and will not be able to get into Syria... Nonsense! The specificity of Africans is such that black armies, in the presence of white military advisers, read - white officers, increase their combat effectiveness not even significantly, but by an order of magnitude. So French military advisers, French special forces and French aviation will quickly restore order, which has happened more than once. And if the matter drags on, several hundred French troops will not in any way affect France’s ability to operate in Syria. The Tuaregs will not receive significant financial support, so who will give money to the Gaddafis? Islamic fanatics are now in Syria, where money from the West and pro-Western Arab monarchs is flowing like a river. Russia is forced to remain neutral here, leaning towards supporting the government of Mali and ECOWAS, so as not to lose its position in Africa. And we can’t quarrel with the French either. While they are building us Mistrals, thermal imagers for armored vehicles are also selling avionics for the aircraft that we export. Who else from NATO countries can afford this? Nobody, only the French.
      There is no point in hoping for a serious guerrilla war in northern Mali. What kind of partisanship is there in the desert? Without outside support.

      Conclusion - French intervention in Mali - cleaning up the consequences of the overthrow of NATO and, to a large extent, France, the Gaddafi regime. Destruction of Gaddafi's supporters, preventing their strengthening in North African countries. Strengthening the position of France in the countries of Francophone Africa.
      Russia in this situation should not support the separatists, since the fight against separatism is our consistent position and in order not to lose our positions in West Africa. As always, we need to emphasize the role of the UN, although it is of little use...

      And as for Syria, they constantly remember it here, saying that our troops should be brought in. This is exactly what you shouldn’t do. The West will be happy. Money will flow from his side, and the blood of our soldiers from ours. In this situation, we won’t be able to win soon, or even ever. Enough of our veto and military exercises in the Mediterranean. As long as we support Syria in this way, the arrogant Saxons and others like them will not risk declaring the airless space above it. And the Syrians can handle it themselves.

          Yes, the Tuaregs and al-Qaeda terrorists don’t get along very well with each other, so it’s a war of everyone against everyone. And then, the engine of terrorism is money. No one will seriously sponsor al-Qaeda in the Maghreb; the French do not like to joke when it comes to their security. And they don’t really look back at democratic principles; let’s remember the eviction of the Roma.

    Basically, all the comments are about whether France will get Lyulei or not and whether Russia needs to intervene. But few people think that the newly-minted French president is solving economic difficulties at the expense of rich but weak Mali, as was recently the case with Libya and as, in fact, the United States has been doing for half a century.
