Hollande can boast of successful military operation, but there are dark areas
The French Government has not yet given a convincing explanation of the cost of the war or its human consequences

The Serval France began operation on January 11 to contain the jihadist threat in Mali has had very positive effects but still contains many unknowns and some dark spots. The good part is that the offensive is over in just three weeks with the Azawad jihadist domination, the giant northern Mali armed groups linked to Al Qaeda had become a sanctuary-jail breaking the territorial integrity of the impoverished African country and turning their precarious democracy in a failed state and a reign of terror.
For civilians and the Malian authorities, France has saved his country and Hollande is a hero. The rapid reaction and attacks by fighters and French helicopters have allowed cities taken Bamako recover-without producing, while known civilian victims, and have added several thousand displaced people that generated the jihadist rebellion. If radical Islamists had reached the capital, the war would have been a bloodbath. And perhaps the West would not have dared even to start the war.
The expedited decision Hollande, after verifying the impossibility of launching an international force arrived in time to avoid the worst, was the first success of the French socialist, who after being charged by Nicolas Sarkozy and soft sections of their own party has shown moral fiber, political instinct and sense of responsibility.
Invested improbable suddenly as commander in chief, and advised by his new team communication, Hollande has seen in its first African war the chance to emerge as a statesman firm and committed to democracy. Beyond some exaggeration Liberator own fervor, his speeches in Bamako and Timbuktu were an exercise in memory and sensitivity. Hollande said that France paid the debt in Mali in the World Wars, when thousands of Africans fought under the French flag, and showed his respect for the independence of Mali and maturity of neighboring countries, warning them that it is they who must manage the war and that France and the international community will not tolerate abuses and anti-democratic attitudes.
Paris has deployed its war machine in Mali as in Iraq: no witnesses or reporters
But, to be real at all, the new doctrine African Hollande, despite initial skepticism that U.S. and European certification for the moment, the death of the uses and abuses of the long historical period known disparagingly as Françafrique postcolonial, should be accompanied for greater transparency.
Paris has deployed its war machine in Mali as in Iraq: no witnesses or reporters. Appealing to safety, almost completely closed the tap of the images and information in the field, which has impeded know, for example, that in fact no French troops reconquer the cities, because they are Malians who enter galas them as troops are left out and are limited to patrolling.
The Government has not convincingly communicated the real cost of the operation (50 million official sounding rounding down) or how long
Defense has not convincingly communicated the real cost of the operation (50 million official sounding rounding down) or how long, and also denies that there are significant economic interests at stake, not transmitting parts of enemy casualties or collateral not explain the movements of its special forces, no comments on the plight of refugees and denounces the abuses committed by the army in Mali.
On Tuesday, the minister Jean-Yves Le Drian admitted that the attacks have caused "hundreds of casualties" to the jihadists, but ministry sources acknowledge that this figure comes from multiplying by five or six occupants the number of trucks destroyed so far - " fifty "-. On the date of departure of the troops, Hollande said that "if all goes as planned, start reducing the number" in March, without elaborating. As for the economic, obvious because most of the uranium that powers nuclear plants comes from the nearby French mines in Niger, Paris insists that is not the actual engine operation.
The conclusion is that it is one thing to declare that the Françafrique ended and another to actually finish her. If, as Paris seeks, there is nothing shameful in the intervention in Mali, Hollande should make an effort to communicate and better explain the doubts and dark spots. That is just a war does not mean that is aseptic and painless, and while it is invisible and his righteousness governing censorship will not be credible or truthful. That is, for the France of Mali is really different from Libya France, Hollande will have to get away, even a little more, of Sarkozy.
