About time Mr Cameron.
I am fully supportive of this venture which will aid in the removal of terrorism from a region of potential, not to mention that it is a joint French led operation anyway. So far as i am concerned the world has left Africa to its own devices for too long and whilst there are some countries emerging as potential successes we also see that there are still a number of dictatorships, still a lot of corruption and clearly a hefty terrorist presence. With Mali having great potential (small population, lots of gold and potential oil) along with Ghana which is thriving nearby and Nigeria which will be a future giant it is imperative that the western world ensures that this area has an adequate force to protect it and so hopefully we shall be aiding in this effort whilst in the region.
It's good to see that the British and French won't just step back and let things go to s***.
