In the rest of africa, there are some allegations of connections with bokaharam in northern nigeria. Perhaps potential supporters in moratani, any ger, senegal, and even from further a field, again as mr. Boot said, you do see fighters now coming from further a field where they are getting pushed out of other places and coming into this area of least resistance. And what will it take to stop them . Anybody . First you have to have security and second you have to have legitimacy. And both of those are soarly lacking in the case of mali. Now in terms of security, you know the french have sent a few hundred troops against thousands of insurgents and it was just pointed out by peter they are able to swing around the french, they are able to melt away from the french captioning sponsored by Rose Communications forces this is truly in keeping with kind of gor ba gorilla warfare where from our studios in new york city, this is charlie rose.
