african contingent is expected to draw around five hundred soldiers each from birkenau faso nigeria and senegal french president francois hollande said on saturday that military support will go on quote for as long as necessary based independent journalist robert on a believes that france's foreign policy is ultimately contradict her. i think that as long as the french people aren't too bothered by the consequences of this sort of intervention they generally favorite has a great military tradition in france and they've grown accustomed to interfering other people's countries and if you. need it starts to get nasty i think you'll find they'll be a very quick a reversal of public opinion the sort of islamic extremists they're very tough soldiers and they've grown tougher over the last twenty years and if france starts to find these people who have been armed as a result of the intervention in libya and all the arms of the swilling about in the in the sahara as a result of their intervention ironically instigated by france then they're going to find it's a very dangerous place to intervene that ma

it was togo, ghana, and senegal, all sending troops.the same time algeria said they would let them use air space. today, it is now an attack, a major hostage situation involving civilians from a bunch of other countries, civilians including americans. it happened in algeria, three americans and others were taken at a natural gas facility partly owned by bp. they were from ireland, canada, and france. the natural gas facility was here in a remote area of northeastern algeria, the group claiming responsibility says it was retaliation for them using air space in mali. he has reportedly struck out on his own now. according to the algerian government, the hostage-takers were traveling in three cars with lots of guns and first tried to attack a bus transporting employees who worked there. when that failed, they reportedly went to the place where the employees were housed. it was there they were able to take 20 to 40 people hostage, including americans. there were many, many algerians who work at the plant, as well, but they were being release

this team we're told was already on its way to senegal to be in place for any potential missions that might come up with mali. they have been diverted in an undisclosed location. they don't have any orders to go yet. a defense official says with the number of hostages and potential hostage-takers there, it would be an extremely dangerous assault miss. they are all hoping there is some sort of diplomatic solution to this crisis. >> certainly a shock to many how quick it happened. as i know, we all have been trying to understand and when these workers were seized on their way to work on what exactly was happening. what can can you tell us about the moment they were taken? given as we just reported, the u.s. government was quick to say they believed this was an organized and preplanned attack. >> you are exactly right. here is what we know from algeria as interior minister. he says an oil field in southern algeria was attacked by militants. several hostages were taken there. this was about 40 miles from the border of libya. a group of westerners were on their way to the airport where the

they were able to have assets because chad to the east, french aircraft and senegal on the west. ,-frenchon of troops that went to mali. the french looks at this the way we used to look at latin america as a monroe doctrine. they will not allow others;be particularly, islamists to take over. it's near europesy. a threat. it's afghanistan. without the mountains. that is why i think what is happening is as it should. the french are taking the lead. we were dallying for weeks about organizing a force of africans. which would have begun in the fall. all of this is happening rapidly. we ought to do is not send any troops, we should be giving as much logistic support as we can. report in the "times" we are thinking about whether we should give capacity of the french airplanes to refuel. i think it's a gimme. of course we should do that. it's a country that matters. we can't allow a new al-qaeda country in the middle of africa. >> juan? >> i couldn't agree more. i think this is the new face of al-qaeda. we have had arguments on this panel about, you know, the president's assertion that al-qaeda

perhaps potential supporters in moratani, any ger, senegal, and even from further a field, again as mr. boot said, you do see fighters now coming from further a field where they are getting pushed out of other places and coming into this area of least resistance. >> and what will it take to stop them? anybody? >> first you have to have security and second you have to have legitimacy. and both of those are soarly lacking in the case of mali. now in terms of security, you know the french have sent a few hundred troops against thousands of insurgents and it was just pointed out by peter they are able to swing around the french, they are able to melt away from the french forces this is truly in keeping with kind of gor ba-- gorilla warfare where mas y tu says the enemy advance we retreat. the enemy tires, we advance t that is exactly the thinking of these insurgents so it will take more troops, more security personnel to have some kind of security but crucially, and this is a really important factor, charlie and i can't emphasize this enough, you've got to have legitimacy. it's not enough

take over power, to create an islamist state in mali and then move further to niger, more tanya, senegal and the otherÑi countries. and certainly algeria is also on the map. >> professor what are the challenges involved. we're talking about a huge swathe of land, sparsely population-- sparsely populated. if you want to have a military response, if you want to respond to this kind of irregular action in the field, is this a daunting landscape on which to do it? >> it is a very daunting landscape, ray. and it will undoubtedly take many years before all of this is solved. the coordination between the different partners involved in this european union, the united states, the african union to some extent peripherally the arab league will be difficult. in addition to that, it also relies on the cooperation of the local states. now luckily libya in particular, the leadership in libya has moved forward and has been trying to coordinate already all kinds of security arrangements in north africa but then north africa needs to coordinate with the states, with the african union, with the united stat

senegal, this is freetown here is the american colony of liberia where some people of african descent were being repatriated, and here is what is called the killing this coast. limbo was the name of the slave trading fortress. here are the men day for the red , closer to the coast. it but this basically is the region were almost all of them came from. now, what kind of experiences did they have? it turns out one of the most important things that all of the men killed all 49 of the men had in common, they were trained warriors. it turned out that southern sierra leone in the 1830's was wracked by warfare, apparently because this group in tandem with southern slave traders in this region have gone into the interior making more and capturing people to bring them back to the coast to sell, to be transported to places like cuba and brazil especially. so understanding that these people were warriors helps you to see why they might have been successful in carrying off this rebellion that actually prove to be a very important fact. this is an image of a warrior from the same time. it says a w
