#1 The history of French involvement with their foreign colonies in Africa can be found in the struggele between France's own Quai d'Orsay (Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs) and its Ministry of Defense. For decades the Quai was determined to keep the Central African Republic under its thumb because it was hip deep in the profits derived from the only thing the nation had that was worth anything -- gemstones. While the French Quai raped the country, the CAR was slowly infiltrated by Muslim radicals. As there was little to no French military involvement with the CAR's feckless and corrupt generals, chaos was the result. Now, the Russians have intervened. Whether invited or not seems immaterial at this point. But their will be a payoff.
