While continuing to try to put a bright face on the extremely ugly aftermath of the French invasion, top officials are conceding that they are now seeing the “bloodiest phase” of the Mali War yet seen, killing dozens of rebels daily.
This is a stunning admission, as French officials have repeatedly put forward the idea that they have already achieved virtually all of their military goals in the conflict and have been treating the current phase, despite the high death tolls coming daily, as “mop up” that would soon be taken over by African nations.
French military leaders also say that they are still “skeptical” about the Chadian claim of having killed top rebel Mokhtar Belmokhtar, pressing the government to “prove it,” while insisting it wouldn’t make much difference on the ground anyhow.
Mali’s various rebel factions were chased out of most cities almost immediately, but have a large amount of desert territory to operate out of, and the large distances between northern towns are going to make it difficult for France to deploy troops able to defend all the different desert towns.
The French think other people will only roll over and give up like they did in WWII.
Mark my words, they will lose and leave with their tail between their legs. I also believe thew Americans will make sure of this.
And may such ungodly Christian Crusaders depart as did the Russian invaders from Afghanistan, a demoralized and bankrupt nation. For both wars had the identical goal, to keep a greed driven upper class in wealth and glory.

The French will continue to lose men, treasure and prestige, and will, once the tipping point has been reached, suffer another political crisis in the country.
However,i thank all these countries which are helping Mali moraly, financially and military.
They show that they are with Mali whatever it is. I think that all these countries have the same aim which is peace not only in Mali but throughtout the world.Only the almighty can reward them. THEIR PRESENT in Mali prove that they are securing humanitarian. YEA,every human being must be free for the choice his /her religion.
