"Mali was politically stable; today it has been split in two and is on the verge / in the midst of a religious a civil war. The government is currently planning to recover the northern half of it territory back from groups of islamicists; while these islamicists are planning to fly the black Islamic flag over the southern half."
So while I couldnt sleep last night due to kids having nightmares, I googled Mali news, and got a bit of an idea whats going on over there re the civil strife. Looks like a peace keeping force is being put together to support the south. France,Britain and US are very concerned with the alqueda influence in the north and are keeping a keen eye on the developements.
I got the feeling that the south will receive plenty of support from the UN if there is any sort os escalation in hostilities.
I need to hold until at least Feb for the 30%, not 46% tax. Reading about the UN stepping in made me feel a little more confident Cheers SW
