[quote]France said its troops will begin to disarm rebels in the Central African Republic on Monday, as terrified residents in the capital Bangui holed up in their homes after a wave of sectarian violence left nearly 400 dead.

Speaking on Sunday evening, the French defence minister Jean-Yves Le Drian warned that the operation to disarm rebel groups would begin "tomorrow morning".

"The period of impunity is over," he said, speaking on French radio station RTL.

French army spokesman Colonel Gilles Jaron said the contingent had reached its full strength of 1,600 by Sunday and troops were on patrol "throughout" Bangui as well as other towns and forest areas.[/quote]

Not really. Mali's army is impotent as duck, so the French that went in really were just a bandaid. If they wanted to fix the issues they'd have to stay like we have.
