IF Iraq was about oil, predominantly, and extending the US’s military footprint across the world, and Afghanistan was about protecting the territory through which oil and gas pipelines must pass (thus outmaneuvering China, Russia and Iran), and the intervention in Libya was to procure western oil companies, including the French oil company Total, with contracts for oil extraction and to steal Gaddafi’s gold reserves, then Mali is about securing the supply of uranium for French nuclear needs.
Fighting terrorism and protecting human rights are the excuses not the reasons for these ruthless and bloodthirsty interventions. It’s solely about economics.
