Understanding the roots of the current conflict in Mali

Show Notes:

The French military intervention should be seen in the context of a decades-long effort to re-colonize Africa. Roger Annis says this goes hand in hand with a militarization of the continent. Annis has been following events in Mali for some years, in part because he sees several parallels with his work in Haiti.  He speaks with Redeye host Mordecai Briemberg.
