Russia claims mali terorists are the same people nato countries armed during libyan civil war

On Wednesday Russia blamed Western countries for creating the current turmoil in Africa by arming Libyan rebels, Timothy Heritage and Gabriela Baczynska of Reuters .

"Those whom the French and Africans are fighting now in Mali are the [same] people who ... our Western partners armed so that they would overthrow the Gaddafi regime," Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told a news conference.

The toppling of Libyan ruler Muammar Qaddafi led to "perhaps the greatest proliferation of weapons of war from any modern conflict," Emergency Director of Human Rights Watch Peter Bouckaert told The Telegraph.

Those weapons stockpiles were raided by both sides, and both sides had connections with radical militants.

In 2011 Pepe Escobar of the Asia Times noted that the main rebel group, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), had formed a "merger" with al-Qaeda in the Islamic Mahgreb (AQIM) in 2007.

And the well-armed Tuareg rebels who fought on Qaddafi's side subsequently returned to northern Mali where they, along with jihadist groups including AQIM, declared the Texas-sized area an independent country in April 2012.

Now France has 2,300 troops on the ground in Mali to retake northern Mali, and several Western countries (including the U.S.) are providing logistical and intelligence support for an offensive that looks like it will take a while.

"The situation in Mali feels the consequence of events in Libya," Lavrov said. "The seizure of hostages in Algeria was a wake-up call."

Purple Curtain.

we killed all the useful terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan ...so we had to make some new ones ...k

seen the mali army asking 'where the fuck did they get those weapons?'

I'm not surprised

i believe them, they are the only ones telling it like it is

The US has been arming terrorists since Obama got in office.

They weren't armed they received an arms upgrade maybe and resupply as you can't arm the armed, these guys are paid for and endorsed by Mr Barry Soetoro administration, their his version of Bush's Black-Water or Northern Alliance mercenaries. There's thousands of these cells and/or organizations would wide.

only obama arming them? more like since whenever it fits their agenda, name changes from rebels to terrorists or whatever they wanna call it but its the same thing

True. It's just a repeat of the Al Queda story. The CIA trained them and equipt them to fight the Russians then when the Yanks went in to take over suddenly their trained freedom fighters were classed as "terrorists".

they get used for whatever the agenda of the day is.

disposable army if you will

also called alciada

thats only the second part of the begging of the III world war
