Operation “Dune”
Some aspects of the military operation by the French military in Africa:
1. Over the past year the market for the of supply of weapons to Africa has changed, if earlier, the American satellites of Saudi Arabia and Jordan were the only market for American weapons, due to the development of the war in Libya, Yemen, Iraq and Syria, the Saudis and the Jordanians have become more independent players and now they buy weapons from the manufacturer and then sell them to “the needy”.

Mirotvorit there by and large nothing, the main purpose, in my opinion the strengthening of the channel arms supplies and influence in West Africa.
