Obama government has announced that it can't accept new Mali or any other place a refuge for terrorists, and commitment to France and Africa's efforts to restore security. However, after nearly a year of disorder in the west African country, Washington remains in the arm length of conflict.
France has always been engaged in a week-long fighting, in order to eliminate the islamic extreme molecules in northern Mali. But American contradiction reflects several factors, first of all, the United States government wishes to avoid being into another war, but in a desolate, poor islamic countries. It won't take economic burden may need a long time of extreme activists blow, and distrust Mali government dominant military officials's President and prime minister, in the past ten months have chased out.
This makes the United States hope France will be able to work well. American officials say they provided information in its European Allies, and is considering the deployment of the plane landed in Mali air or logistical support. The United States can provide the scout, too, but will not be accepted sending American troops to prevent terrorists from carving out a safe haven in Afghanistan, as they before September 11, 2001 in the concept of the attack.
"We have a responsibility to ensure that" base "organization did not establish a base, management, defense secretary Leon · palmer inside tower (Leon Panetta) said:" this week. The United States must pursue terrorist network ", no matter where they are, "he said, including Pakistan, yemen, somalia and north Africa.
But Washington in all over the world different adopt different methods. It has always maintained a frustrating, but lasting alliance, Pakistan - along the Afghan border fight terrorists and insurgents hide Pakistan. In yemen, it has been successfully adopted a series of senior al-qaida in the Arabian peninsula leader, and push through the political transition. In somalia, the United States unprepared Ethiopia efforts to eradicate, youth party, another "base" organization transmitte the bill.
In all three places, the use of American unmanned aircraft enemy fire.
However, in Mali, the United States held a drone attack in the islamic maghreb "base" organization members, black laden bin laden terrorist, regional branch islamic maghreb al-qaida. It has cut the most and Mali government relations - a caretaker government body are still influenced by army captain AMaDu · SaNuoGe, him down and march, the country's elected President, and help the interim government prime minister a free-kick from last month.
Coup create complex legal issues management.
According to the law, the United States does not provide any military aid to Mali regime, until to the establishment of a democratic. This means that must be indirectly through its France and Africa cooperation partners, to help against extreme activists in the country, make it difficult to comb the United States can provide interests and under what conditions.
The United States decided to provide assistance to the French receiving direct for Mali government aid request, after a few days, a senior government official said on Wednesday, not to be named speech, because he was not authorized to speak publicly on the matter. Before this, the state department has said not received such a request.
Authorities did not see and African troops carried to Mali, any legal issues and legal issues related to American aid is still in negotiations.
"I have learned one thing is, every time I turn my face a group of lawyers," palmer inside tower, told reporters Wednesday in Rome. "This is no different., lawyers basically to review these problems, to ensure that they feel comfortable, we have what, we are required to do a legal basis.
But, he says, the United States will have enough legal authority, to help, because the enemy is the "base" organization in Mali.
"They are a threat to our country, they are to the world of the threat," palmer inside tower said.
In relation to the United States to participate in the limited problem is very important, because Washington does not want to play a direct role.
Islamic maghreb base organization is not regarded as an imminent threat to U.S. national security, participate in Mali civil war, its main focus on the kidnapping, drug trafficking and blackmail in the area, Africa center for strategic and international studies director, Jennifer cooke said: in Washington.
However, jumped into the fight, she said, Mali a magnet, will become jihad from the region of the United States risk. This may lead to the same kinds of international fighter challenge the United States and its Allies troops in Iraq and Afghanistan,.
This makes the French, his troops to the north (Wednesday) in Mali by. Insurgents look up, push in the last week and nearby African countries Mali's capital, Bamako is still not able to work out a deal with a local intervention. The French have 800 troops, but in Mali plan, in order to increase its strength to 2500. The offensive has caused thousands of African Mali's neighbors promised forces, but they haven't reached, away from France, lead to operation.
President francois Mr Lande said France won't leave until Mali is safe.
The United States does not want to drag in with such a difficult task of long-term goals. And, as the state department spokesman Victoria's stability, he said, it will ask the government and the army is strong enough to keep the territory and maintain peace radical is defeated,. For this reason, the bush administration has been want to restore democracy progress before intervention - it just recently, exercise TuRui as the rebels in the north and the islamic extreme socialist union friends quickly get to the location of the ground.
"We have tried to play a useful diplomatic role, we will continue to do so," Johnny Carson, African diplomat said on Wednesday. However, considering the present crisis, he added: "we support efforts to France in Mali. We think, this is very important, islamic maghreb al-qaida defeated, we support the region."
The United States also have said to help Africa leading mission, will work with the French "immediate deployment", but this power has been delayed again and again how many units each countries to provide long, who pay dispute.
It is not clear, in a word, Nigeria and other west African countries from about 3000 soldiers since April have caught a desert area size, France against radical
