Tuareg rebels in northern Mali have claimed to have seized control of a military camp and posts in the town of Bourem after weeks of fighting against the national army and Wagner mercenaries, threatening to unravel a 2015 peace deal.

At least you're here to chronicle the latest French military debacle.

The Malian government got peeved at the French and accused them of making a deal with the Tuareg after Mali asked for France's help with a Tuareg/Islamist rebellion. The Tuareg have always complained that the Malian government never allocated enough representation to the Tuareg.

This may be the French acting with the Tuareg to pressure Mali.

Maybe not if the French have now allied with the Tuareg against the Malian government and the Russians.

LOL, but the Neocon supporters will have to deal with the fact that neither the Turegs nor the Karens are going to bail them out anymore.

They’re now on their own.
