Jan. 18th, 2013 05:44 am* The French are sending more troops into Mali. The West African force were starting to arrive as I wrote this. We've stepped up with more transport and supply support to the mixed force. A number of European powers including Great Britain and Denmark are also providing logistical support.

Algeria's interest is just as obvious and are being very accommodating to transport.
