Earlier this year matters dramatically worsened when the jihadists suddenly pushed south, threatening even Bamako, the capital. So France's President Francois Hollande decided to act. On January 11th French aircraft swooped in, bombarding the rebels and their bases. For the moment Bamako is safe. But the French president has given himself a daunting task. No one is sure of his campaign's precise aim, nor how or when his forces will get out. Moreover, the jihadists dramatically displayed their own transnational reach on January 16th, by storming a gasfield facility at In Amenas, in south-eastern Algeria. A Frenchman, a Briton and an Algerian are said to have died in the attack.
