Honestly, as a Nigerian, I for one support France's efforts in the Sahel. Simply put: the local governments there are terrible with managing their countries and curtailing islamic extremism and the fallout has been negatively affecting my own country with fulani terrorists and insurgents from Chad, Niger, and Mali causing problems and committing atrocities nd raising insecurity in Nigeria. If France is the only power that can keep them in check, I welcome them.

@supa3ek But we do have oil in Nigeria and we do have security deals with America, though not as extensive as that of Israel and Taiwan. So what are you talking about? ALso, you didn't answer my question. If these local governments cannot keep their countries stable and keep terrorism in check, why should I not support France doing their job? I know France is not altruistic but you think I want more insecurity in my country because Chad, Niger and Mali are too stupid to fix their own?

@vistor5376 very easy for you to say that. Will you still say the same if and when the military government in Burkina Faso begins to purge dissidents or ethnically cleanse tribes they disagree with? Despite the issues with the French, they are a stabilizing force in much of the Sahel and when it hits the fan, you folks will be among the first to demand they intervene.
