Hi, I think there's no topic yet about this latest war.
Since friday the French decided they had to intervene to prevent Islamists overtaking Mali. Those already occupy half the country.
It seems french fighters stationed in Tsaad were there first. They apparently were already stationed there for some time (apparent having good low flying opportunities..
During the week-end Mirage2000 and Rafales were added. Unclear to me if the rebels were really stopped or are still advancing.
Airstrikes seem to concentrate in the narrow part of the country. Lots of countries around that seem moderately stable and have a history of violent civil wars, corruption, natural resources and tribal links.. I hope this won't spread..
