Mali was first destabilized thanks to NATO’s intervention in Libya,
which sent weapons and fighters streaming into the northern deserts,
where they found little opposition from the government. Other Islamist
fighters from the Middle East soon came flocking in to this sandy patch
of ungoverned territory. Their ranks are reportedly bolstered by
thousands of local child soldiers.
So NATO's intervention in Libya may have led to this terrible situation for Mali. And in addition, the Obama administration has waived sanctions on the international agreement intended to stop the use of child soldiers. But for the third year in a row, Obama has waived almost all U.S. sanctions that would punish certain countries that use child soldiers, upsetting many in the human rights community
