The Coming Crisis: EU mission seeks to rebuild Mali army after U.S. faltered

The Coming Crisis Welcome to Humanity's    ...Final Performance...

EU mission seeks to rebuild Mali army after U.S. faltered May 21st 2013, 16:58 Under a blazing sun and the critical gaze of British and Irish instructors, a line of 11 Malian soldiers lie prone in the dust firing AK-47 rounds at targets, one-by-one. "One out of 10 - not very good," Captain Ibrahim Soumassa, commander of the Malian unit, tells one of the men. "We're at 25 meters. When we're at 100, it'll be difficult." A European Union training mission faces a considerable challenge as it seeks to succeed where years of U.S. instruction failed by turning Mali's rag-tag army into a force capable of facing an Islamist threat stretching across the Sahara. http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/05/21/us-mali-eu-army-idUSBRE94K0F420130521
