Today, January 17, "People's Network", the online service of semi-official "People's Daily", Beijing, published an article that is dealing with the French intervention in Mali. The following evaluation of the proceedings in Mali has been quoted from that article:
马里战乱西方干涉利比亚后遗症
Mali war chaos and Western intervention. - An after-effect of the Libyan "cerebral concussion".
新华社分析指出，法国空军正在对马里反政府武装发动猛烈空袭，地面部队已投入战斗，西非其他国家的援军也在陆续赶赴战场。但是，外部武装干涉会留下什么“后遗症”？军事介入能否彻底解决马里的社会问题和区域自治问题？马里是否如宗教极端组织所声称将成为法国的“阿富汗泥潭”？这些问题都值得人们深思。
An analysis made by New China [Press] Agency is pointing out:
[While] the air force of France is just launching a violent air raid against armed forces opposing the government of Mali, Western, African and other nations are reinforcing [French troops], one after another rushing to the battleground as well. However, could there remain some kind of "after-effect from cerebral concussion" [after] an intervention by foreign military forces ? Could military intervention enable a thoroughgoing solution of problems the society of Mali is having or [help solving] regional autonomy problems ? Isn't Mali like an extremely religious organization [considered] to be developing into [some kind of] "Afghan quagmire" for France ? These questions deserve being thought deeply about.
