[b]U.S. suspends $13 million in aid to Mali.[/b] WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States is suspending at least $13 million of its roughly $140 million in annual aid to Mali following last month's coup in the West African nation, the State Department said on Wednesday. The suspension affects U.S. assistance for Mali's ministry of health, public school construction and the government's efforts to boost agricultural production. The United States, which sees Mali as an important partner in regional efforts to combat Islamic extremism, has warned that Mali's political crisis was putting the territorial integrity of the country at risk. U.S. law bars aid "to the government of any country whose duly elected head of government is deposed by military coup or decree." The United States announced the suspension of some aid to Mali a day after calling again on coup leaders to immediately return power to civilian authorities. "The rest of the assistance will continue but anything that was directly going into the government programs and ministries has to be suspended," State Department spokesman Mark Toner told reporters. Once one of the most stable democracies in West Africa, Mali has been in turmoil since the widely condemned March 22 coup that emboldened Tuareg rebels to seize half the country in their quest for a northern homeland. [b]They have been joined by Islamists bent on imposing sharia, Islamic law, across the whole of the moderate Muslim state, making it the latest security concern in a region battling al Qaeda agents and home-grown militant groups such as Nigeria's Boko Haram.[/b] Mali's military rulers on Wednesday postponed a national convention to end a crisis sparked by the coup, which has led to international isolation and allowed the rebels to seize control of the northern half of the country. [/qb][/QUOTE]Key point is this: [QUOTE][b]Mali's military rulers on Wednesday postponed a national convention to end a crisis sparked by the coup, which has led to international isolation and allowed the rebels to seize control of the northern half of the country. [/b][/QUOTE]Now the West is supposed to be against AlQaeda and Islamic militants. However, in this case, while I don't agree with coups and their destabilizing effects on African people, it is helping the militants. Much like the West supported the Militants in Libya. So again, this is simply part of a plan and agenda to destabilize Africa using Islamic militants and extremist mercenaries. Keep in mind that all of this goes back to the British and their alliance with the Saudis. Once the Ottomans were defeated in WWI the British decided that having Islamic Extremism was a good way to keep the Ottomans from coming back and the re-emergence of an Islamic super state. Every since then Saudi has been funding and supporting hard core Islamists and the West hasn't said a word but actively supported it. Case in point, Syria. Case in point Somalia, where Saudis allegedly supply most of the funding and of course Libya where the Saudis and Qataris funded the "rebels". And this shows how even going as far back as Islamic Spain, The Byzantine Empire and the Crusades, Muslim political elites are well known for being treacherous and back stabbing going as far to engage in alliances with Christian armies in order to preserve their own power.... And from this time period arose the double headed Eagle as a symbol of the control over both sides of the East and West: [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7a/Byzantine_eagle.JPG/300px-Byzantine_eagle.JPG[/IMG] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-headed_eagle [QUOTE]The head on the left (West) symbolizes Rome, the head on the right (East) symbolizes Constantinople. The cross and orb in the claws symbolize, respectively, spiritual and secular authority. Relief from the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople buildings.[/QUOTE]Not coincidentally this also became the symbol of the Seljuk Turks who often called themselves the Sultanate of Rum (Rome) or eastern Rome.
