S2: Current events
French military forces over the weekend have begun a major military intervention in their former colony nation of Mali, in North Africa.
Mali has recently been taken over by Al Qaeda linked forces who have established a “Taliban” style government after overthrowing the democratic government.
The region is critical to national security for its proximity to Europe, and potential use as a training and staging ground for attacks against US interests abroad and at home.
