    Here's the reason why:
    "According to a parliamentary committee enquiring into France's supplies of uranium, about 18 percent of the raw material used to power France's 58 nuclear reactors came from Niger in 2008".

    It's more like 78%. They get some from Canada but it's mainly all from Mali. France produces most of its electricity via nuclear power and tries to keep information on the sourcing of their uranium as vague as possible due to the potential problems in the region that we're seeing now.

    French are going to take back Timbuktu.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I'm kind of jealous. Being able to tell grandkids about me kicking ass in timbuktu would be priceless.

    And the weird part is they do most of it in the name of Religion/Islam. Follow the teaching of Mohammed, and our radical Islamic point of view, or we will kill/maim you in the name of Allah!
