#1 CAR rebels have been supported by Libya. The French have saved their bacon several times.

This is the place where, in the 1980"s, the "emperor" was openly a cannibal.

#6 Both Chinese and Saudi money is behind the behavior of Sudan. The Chinese have "exclusive" production rights for at least two of Sudan's oilfields. Saudi Arabia will finance anyone who will support their particularly insidious version of Islam. Khartoum needs to meet a fleet of Buffs with big iron bombs. I'm sure that would do quite a bit to "dis-encourage" their adventurism, especially the second or third day they were greeted to the sound of thunder from above.

Yes, that's what the ESISC (a belgian think tank I appreciate and trust) is saying.
