A major new report broken by France’s newspaper Le Monde today revealed that the nation has been engaged in a secret war in Libya, in which French special forces have been carrying out “covert action” strikes against ISIS and other factions with the backing of Britain and the United States.
French President Francois Hollande is said to have authorized an “unofficial military action” in Libya at some point after the November ISIS attacks in Paris. France also established a military base in northern Niger, along the Libyan border, to facilitate the offensive. Le Monde confirmed that the troops have been in Libya at least since mid-February.
The French Defense Ministry refused to officially confirm or deny whether they are engaged in any secret wars in Libya, but would say that they are launching a formal investigation into the leaks which led to the story breaking in Le Monde.
Le Monde also quoted a French defense official who insisted on anonymity as saying France wanted to avoid “overt military engagement” in Libya at all costs, but also really wanted to intervene there against the growing ISIS affiliate.
The US also confirmed in late January that they have a “small” presence of ground troops in Libya, though they’ve insisted those troops by and large are not engaged in military operations, but are rather courting various Libyan factions as potential allies for a bigger future war.
US, French, and British officials have been holding meetings too talking up the idea that they’re planning an operation in Libya, though it seems they didn’t want to wait until they were done selling the narrative to start the war, and decided to just go ahead in secret.
France reminds me of a cur dog that slinks away at your approach and once your back is turned bites your heels.
In the distant pass always able to take advantage of primative peoples but once their occupied lands became more sophisticated they were run put of every country outside of France
They cowardly joined in the destruction of a non beligerant nation Libya, but only after US proxies and airwith spec ops had Ghaddaffi military on the run.
They want their old dream of a tran-Sahara pipeline. From central through Central Africa, Chad and Libya and control of Libyan oil.
Too weak of backbone to openly attack on own they let US and Brits with NATO do the proxie killing fields before sending in boots on ground; but of course taking the safest wsy of killing those who hafd no air forces by bombing.
If there is a threat of violence towards France from African Continent it sure is not the ISIS and AlQ paid for by US, wjo they helped supply with arms by shipping Libyan arms to Turkey for distribution to their Syrian groups
With History as a guide French economic interest been supporting and warrring against Africans and stealing African uranium and minerals since they were partners in old Belgian Congo days.
In fact in Ruwanda and Central Congo once usedbthe French and Belgian Franc as currency until Dollar and Pound drove them out.
Their spec ops were training thieves and killers while
US was training their killer and thieving rivals.
US knew enough that throw those cur dogs a nones and pat them on head they will make decent dogsbof war, as long as enemy is not very bright or well armed.
Now they play cowardly game of playing terrorvhunters but in fact are looking for any and all Libyans that do not support US installed government.
Fighting ISIS is the biggest lie being used by Every one to fool their ignorant people back home to support their imperialist agendas and support their minions in other countries.The fact is the French entered to fight on the side general hafter ,who is rejected by the majority of the Libyans,faction who has far failed to become the new handpicked “Sissi” of Libya.The French has long dreamed of taking over Libya and establishing a puppet government that follow the French dictates and suppress any one that would oppose their plans and visions.The French has being the force behind much of the troubles that the Libyan people facing.ISIS is in Syrte but the French are fighting factions that opposed to hafter in Benghazi and the west.The French has always plotted to break up Libya into fighting factions.
