“France under jihadist threat”: French media promotes the war on Mali
“Military intervention by France and the other Western powers in Mali - under the guise of “defeating terrorism” - is a bridgehead for Western capital and corporations, not only into a resource-rich country, but into a large chunk of the entire African continent.”

excerpts from: Hollande steps up France security over Mali and Somalia
BBC News, 13 January 2013
French President Francois Hollande has
ordered security stepped up around public buildings and transport
because of military operations in Africa.
He was responding to the risk of Islamist attack after French forces attacked militants in Mali and Somalia. [...]
France's anti-terrorism alert system known as "Vigipirate" is being reinforced immediately, with security boosted at public buildings and transport networks, particularly rail and air. Public gatherings will also be affected.
The alert will remain at red, the second-highest level at which emergency counter-attack measures are put in place.
The "struggle against terrorism" required all necessary precautions to be taken in France itself, the president said.
