UN experts say Islamic State group almost doubled the territory they control in Mali in under a year

Islamic State extremists have almost doubled the territory they control in Mali in less than a year, and their al-Qaida-linked rivals are capitalizing on the deadlock and perceived weakness of armed groups that signed a 2015 peace agreement, United Nations experts said in a new report.
The stalled implementation of the peace deal and sustained attacks on communities have offered the IS group and al-Qaida affiliates a chance “to re-enact the 2012 scenario,” they said.

Ok... And?
Is this one of those posts?
You know which ones.
The kind where America is expected to go solve everyone's problems because no one else will. But the same people who would love to see the US solve the world's problems, also condemns the US every time it interferes in some other country's internal affairs.
Nowhere on the article is mentioned the United States. You're the one bringing an America centric discourse and acting like you're the victim.
That's because everyone loooooves to beg and plead the US to solve all their problems, pay all their bills, fix this, dethrone that.
People like you are the ones that embarrass the rest of us. Stfu.
What the other guy said, but also, last time Mali had this problem flair up just a few years ago France did the intervention.
And nothing. It's a world news sub. Articles about world news.
There doesn't have to be a hidden message to you.
No we want America to stay at home. The last time they funded radical groups in Syria, in their illegal and failed attempt to unseat the Asad regime, the result was a deluge of refugees in Europe. Nobody wants this kind of help.
We WANT to stay home but that doesn't stop every mistreated and spoiled group out there begging for American intervention. Lord knows no one can count on the UN or any of the European countries to do anything. They can barely help their own fellow European neighbor after it was invaded. With friends like that...
We got involved in Syria so John Kerry could have a legacy after losing and to get a pipeline built. Like all Middle East adventures the goals were not achieved.
The US should never have involved itself in Syria.
We should never have gotten involved in anything in the Middle East. We did because of oil and Israel.
Well, the current government in Mali is the result of a military coup. The previous, elected government was friendly with France, and the new, military coup crowd is friendly with Russia.
Then when the coup guys decided that they didn't need to hold elections when they said they would, they got condemned by the US.

So I vaguely imagine that said government probably isn't asking the US to become involved, because the US's position is that they should have held elections.
