Mali has evidence that French forces present in its territory with a mission to counter terrorist groups have been instead "training" militants, the transitional government's prime minister told Russia's RIA news agency on Friday. According to the Malian official, France now controls an enclave in Kidal, with Mali having no access there.
Comment: See the eastern pockets of Syria for another current example of a Western country's military 'jointly occupying' resource-rich MENA countries with ISIS and assorted Islamic terrorist proxy forces.
"They have militant groups there, who have been trained by French officers. We have evidence of that. There is an expression in our language, saying that when you are looking for a needle in your room and someone, said to be helping you in the search, is standing on that needle, you will never find it. So this is the situation happening now in Mali, and we don't want to bear with it," Maiga said.
Comment: That's your 'colonialism' right there. Not 'China invading Taiwan', or 'Russia invading Crimea'.
And the French government knows it, recently telling the Russian FM to 'butt out of OUR country [Mali]...'
The US, UK, Israel and France have been doing the same thing throughout the 'War on Terror' - they're SPREADING terrorism to justify military intervention and occupation... BY THEM.
