#2 Wow - talk about burying the lede:

The funds received by OCHA in Mali last year amounted to just 5% percent of the $3 billion spent by armies there

Whose "armies"? Why so coy? Could those armies, possibly, be headed by the same bandits kleptocratic butchers who are pocketing a big chunk of the $3 billion?

#11 'talks' with jihadists accomplishes nothing. at best they agree to a cease-fire 'hudna' where everyone but the jihadists stand down.

talking with moslems is worthless.

#12 Negotiations require honesty and good will. Two prerequisites that have not been met. Better and more productive to play solitaire and obliterate your enemies.
