Re Algeria: The French sent in troops earlier this year (without a UN resolution!!!!!) to protect French citizens during the civil war there, and to set up a government friendly to the French.
More recently, France asked the U.N. to send in troops, because French troops are cornered and need rescuing. The U.S. vetoed the resolution! Hah!

Was that Algeria, or was it another of the French "former" colonies? Dunno. One of them. Whichever the French sent troops into recently.
