Canadian C 17

The international effort to save Mali, from falling to Al Qaeda forces, continues to grow.

Aircraft from Canada, Denmark, the UK, and the US are helping bring French troops into Mali, from France.

US drones are expected to join the fight soon, as well.

African forces have also begun showing up, to join the more than two thousand French fighting alongside the Malian military.

Troops from Benin, Burkina Faso, Chad, Niger, Nigeria, and Togo are now in Mali, preparing to join the fight.

International funding is beginning to come in as well, with the EU leading the way.

Already several towns have been retaken by French and Malian forces, and the hunt is on for the rebels.
