483: Culture Creationism
Operation Sabre, Mali Conflict and French Military
Operation Sabre, a French-led military intervention in Mali, is examined. Reports from Timbuktu suggest that the "liberation" occurred without a single shot fired, and the hosts question the actual presence of Al-Qaeda in the region. Video footage of the Malian army training by making vocal "gunfire" sounds is highlighted as evidence of the conflict's questionable nature.
