Apropos of nothing I guess. Clearly no lessons learned. Expressing regret is sufficient for most people. Acting to not repeat your mistakes is way harder.
French interventionism in Africa has increased dramatically since then. Their military operations in CAR definitely reduced the death toll of the entire conflict over all, as a recent example.
That's a fair counter point, although I have no opinioms on the positive or negative impacts the French are having in those interventions. I guess I wasn't really talking about Africa.
