Visit the publisher's websiteEmira Woods of the Institute for Policy Studies has said: “I think what we have to recognise is that … often military intervention breeds greater challenges, unintended consequences.
“And so what we have created now is a situation where … all the challenges internal to Mali have been exacerbated by people, extremists, coming - many foreign fighters coming from other countries into Mali to unseat the French, to offset Western colonial powers, and to assert their own image of what Mali should look like for the future.
“I think it is not only dangerous for Mali, but also for the neighbouring countries, countries like Algeria that has now seen hostages taken at oil installations because of this, now, desire to combat the French and to stop the interventionists from the West.”
Woods goes on to say the French action is in violation of international law, even though some African leaders are cheering it on.
“France essentially went to the UN to try to brief the UN, but there has been no new Security Council resolution. So what stands is the resolution passed, which calls for an Africa-led force…and yet the focus of the international (community) - particularly the French action now - is on sort of this military intervention.” - February 4, 2013
