FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Late on Sunday, the Prime Minister and French President Francois Hollande discussed the conflict in the West African state, where French and Malian government forces are battling insurgents.
Britain has already provided two C-17 military transport aircraft and a Sentinel surveillance plane to the operation.
“We are keen to continue to provide further assistance where we can and depending on what French requirements there may be,” Cameron’s spokesman said.
“The position on ‘no combat role’ is absolutely unchanged.”
Britain’s national security adviser, Kim Darroch, was in Paris on Monday to assess French military needs, but any British assistance will be restricted to logistics, transport, intelligence and surveillance, the spokesman said.
Just 10 days into its military intervention in Mali, there are already signs that France may have taken on more than it bargained for. The West African country may become to French President Francois Hollande what Iraq was for U.S. President George Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair: a destructive, open-ended quagmire with wide-ranging, unforeseen consequences.
Britain is also sending troops numbering in the 10s to take part in a European Union mission to train Malian forces.
Cameron has highlighted the threat from North Africa and the Sahel in recent weeks, and has spoken of a “generational struggle” to counter insurgency in the region.
Nearly two-thirds of French people support the intervention, according to a poll by the French Institute of Public Opinion. Quick and decisive military operations abroad often boost leaders’ ratings at home, and Hollande may be counting on this to alleviate his unpopularity over the economy. However, public opinion usually turns when a campaign lasts longer than expected or promised.
