France Struggles to Assist Boko Haram Fight from Afar
2015-02-14
[AnNahar] La Belle France has found itself the best positioned Western nation to assist in the regional fight against Boko Haram
... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...
-- but also the most vulnerable to being sucked into an open-ended war, experts say.

Despite the presence of 3,000 troops in the region under La Belle France's Barkhane operation battling jihadist groups around the Sahel, Gay Paree insists it will limit itself to "indirect support" of the widening African effort to combat Boko Haram.
