Just send in the FFL … they are very good at cleaning up messes like this. And inflict heavy losses on African & Arab forces. |

Legion, French really didn't do much in Mali or Afghanistan or whatever. In Mali the bad guys dispersed and went back to good old fashioned terrorism and guerilla tactics. French are still there occasionally getting blown up or shot at in what has become their very own forever war. In Afghanistan the French were useless. They even managed to lose a whole platoon in Uzbin province when it blundered into an ambush due to poor planning, poor security etc. It was literally Indo-China all over again. Taliban had a field day parading with FAMAS' and other captured French gear. French Army like most western armies is increasingly a colonial style garrison force. |

French really didn't do much in Mali or Afghanistan or whatever. The FFL is the best unit the French Army. I have not heard they lost their edge? US troops that were in Somalia back then reported they were good at their jobs and did some damage. And even before Kolwazi. |
