    So much for an independent country. SO much for peaceful coexistence of communities ...

    Muslim troops got Toyota pickups and AK47s -- they're invincible.

    No it's was irony. Pointing down the fact that most of the central africa country aren't able to hold a stable governement for 10 year since the colonizing powers left.
    Also, should they ask every monday for military help, they should be considered as a protectionate and not simply merely ally. A federal african force is on the making but until then, interreligious and interethnic medieval conflict are paid in french blood.

    No, that's not an English word either. Go back to school. And stop reading Le Figaro/Pravda.

    You obviously have an incredible amount of useful opinion to add to this topic.


    In my opinion the French are doing as asked, and likely feel a responsibility to the region. Someone needs to step up and protect these people from the Islamic Tide before it becomes a tsunami.....and I personally am pleased it is not us.

    This thread is pure BS. It reeks of ignorance. The OP is stupid and racist.

    The "tide" may be 1000 rebels.. The French have already dispatched 100 of them.

    1000 men with Hatred in the soul and the will to kill indiscriminately, would be a very nasty and destructive tide. The obvious tendency of Islamic fanatics to spread death and destruction on pretty much anyone in the way must be eliminated in any free society.

    Casualties names for WW1.
    Search examples:
    - First name begins with "Jean": 187380 names found
    - First name begins with 'Pierre': 62328 names found
    - First name begins with "Antoine" 16,930 names found

    - First name begins with "Mohammed" 1964 names found
    - First name begins with "Mammadou" 45 names found
    - First name begins with "Ibrahim" 27 names found.

    Even less for the 2nd World War.
    1311 Mohamed, 47 Mamadou, 21 Ibrahim.


    Source : http://www.memoiredeshommes.sga.def...le.php?larub=3&titre=premiere-guerre-mondiale ( use google translate )

    African and north african are less 0.5 % of the total casualties in WW1 and even less in WW2.



    Alternate questions. Should France should be the military police of Africa ?

    As if you couldn't be an African, if you were named Jean. Just more racism from you, I guess.

    "If one totals the two world wars, 300,000 North Africans and Africans died or were missing."

    I recommend the movie "Indigenes" if you could get it. Nice take on the colonial troops fighting for france in WW2. Plenty of asian also fought on the french side.

    Nice try. but while i respect the colonials who actually fought for France ( And this doesn't chain down to their children and grand children automatically ). This movie is pure propaganda.

    Your numbers include french colonists.
    To give you an clue,
    From wikipedia :
    http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonies_dans_la_Première_Guerre_mondiale#Pertes


    Considering the 2 times used racist arguments
    racist-if-youre-losing-the-argument-shout.jpg



    But we are loosing track.
    Military personels just like workers are hired BUT volonteers, they are paid to do a risky job and they are honored to do so ( For exemple, the french foreign regiments is among the greatest in fame and military values )
    Now, that doesn't mean that outside their sacrifice they have the right to bargain for unlimited support, welfare for their homecountry ( now free from France remember ? ) and their children ( which still come to the house of the former oppressor for some reasons )

    Stop idealizing them.
