Looks Like Mauritania & Algeria are REALLY against the war...

--Mauritania--

Mauritania warned Monday that the fallout from a military strike against the Islamist extremists controlling northern Mali could be devastating and affect the troubled country's neighbours.

"This country which has for a long time been seen as a model of democracy is like a volcano about to erupt," national assembly president Messaoud Ould Boulkheir said... "If this volcano awakens, it will dump incandescent ashes over its neighbours," he told parliament. "As we share a common border and since the interests of our peoples are closely interwoven, our country cannot just stand by," he added...

--Algeria--

Regional powerhouse Algeria meanwhile renewed its call for a political solution to the Mali crisis.

"We have not stopped emphasising that a way out of the crisis, through dialogue between the Malian authorities and the rebel groups in the north, is completely possible," foreign ministry spokesman Amar Belani told AFP.
