If we were to judge the impact of the intervention in Mali by the jubilant euphoria of liberated populations, then it should be obvious that by deploying so slowly, African countries failed Mali once again ..... All the posturing by African heads of state and yet they could not achieve a single action of their own to slow down the Islamists in Mali. 
Kama tungekuwa tunasaiili matokeo ya watu wenye amani na huru kuingilia kati hali ya mambo nchini Mali, basi ni wazi kuwa kwa kuchelewa kupeleka vikosi vya ulinzi, nchi za Afrika zimewakosea wananchi wa Mali kwa mara nyingi...kelele zote za wakuu wa nchi lakini bado hawajaweza kutimiza lengo lolote waliloliweka wao kama hatua ya kupunguza nguvu ya Waslamu wenye msimamo mkali nchini Mali.
