US Involvement in Mali - Hannah Kalan
The US stepped up involvement in Mali when Malian forces fought back and loosened the hold that Islamist militants had on the city of Gao with the help of French forces. One government policy doesn't allow for the military to directly aid Mali because the government has yet to have a successful election. However, the US Air Force has carried out at least seven flights carrying 168 tons of equipment and 200 French troops to aid the struggle.
I'm glad that the U.S. is helping out, but at the same time, it never ends up well when we try to mess with other countries' problems.
ReplyDeleteI do not think the US army needs to get itself involved in any other conflicts because that never goes well
