- Title
AFRICA - FRANCE: Widening the Network.
- Abstract
The article reports that France will support the Kenyan soldiers who are fighting the Al Shabaab Islamist militant group in Somalia in 2011. It says that the French has increased their activities in Africa not only in military interventions but also on economic deals like the oil exploration rights acquisition by Total Petroleum Inc. off the coast of Lamu, Kenya. Furthermore, France has also invested in South Africa, and many speculate that France expects Libya to grant them business contracts.
