French invade Mali
 
http://news.antiwar.com/2013/01/11/f...wad-offensive/

Islamics hold 2 3rds of the north of the country and have started to move south. Apparently the UKs involvement so far is to fly some African troops in

The West used to be afraid of the March of Communism, but now it's the March of Islam.

I saw the change in the majority French muslim population go from mostly very tolerant Algerians and Morrocans to very intolerant black Africans, including Malians.

Crime rose as they started to dominate, by both birth and immigration. Many more areas of the major cities are practically no-go areas now for both "indigenous" French and the original Algerian/Morrocan populations. Violent crimes are also much more common in areas with the black majorities. Members of our family moved away from the "black" areas as soon as they could.

P.S. They prefer to be known and addressed as "blacks"... the English word.

Hollande may have stirred up a hornets' nest back in France with this aid to Mali.

Good. These nutcases need ousting.

@ Taf... From what I've heard from fellow Arsenal supporters connected to France in some way is that theres a divide. According to who I heard stuff from.. middle class look down upon Africans, there were no higher class jobs for blacks or so on but at the sametime some classed them as crazy inbreds not able to fit in or something. Some said African families in France that are middleclass steer clear of the conflict. If its a ghetto attitude then what do you expect but they need educating. Does that make sense to you or is it wrong?

AFAIC, education moves some people away from religious domination and towards civilisation, and upper classes tend to get better education.

I was watching the new yesterday and Channel 4 had a report from within Mali that showed the French had already been successful in stopping the militants and the Mali people were all pretty grateful and hoped the French would stay for a while!

The French know how to invade a country and when to go to war...

I wouldn't be banking on it being a done deal just yet. The Iraqis were happy to see coalition forces in Baghdad and Nigeria has it's own issues with Islamic terrorism...
