Arming Mali

The U.S. has prepared to give Mali millions of dollars worth of equipment to help fight Al-Qaeda. Nearly 5 million dollars will be spent on truck, communication devices, and clothing to get the Mali army better prepared. A few years ago there were many Al-Qaeda attacks in Algeria along its northern coast, but recently attacks have started popping up closer to Mali and even in its borders. The country is facing the Northern regime of Al-Qaeda, and although not much has happened lately, Mali is ready to go to war if the need arises.
