So a country in Sub-Saharan Africa has been run over by 'Islamists' who are bent upon enforcing 'Sharia Law'. A term which, unfortunately, justifies foreign intervention. At the cost of millions of pounds/euros (aren't we still in a recession?) and the inevitable destruction of property and loss of lives. Do we need another war and do we need more bloodshed? In the end, its the civilians that will pay the ultimate price. There seems to be no clear strategy in foreign intervention. Egypt are now run by an 'Islamist Goverment'. Does this justify another foreign intervention? There are groups all over Sub-Sahran Africa, Boko Haram, Al-Shabab and other of the like.
