 Unlike America, France actually supported their buddies with actions.

French National Assembly, Jan 11 posted:

opposition minister:"What about Ben Ali? 42 deaths!"

foreign minister Michele Alliot: "The fundamentals of politics would lead us to offer the expertise of our security forces, which is known throughout the world, can resolve security situations like this"

I you france

 So I just heard that the local administration in Benghazi is threatening to end oil exports to the West within 48 hours if violence doesn't end, via RDI live broadcast. This seems important but I wonder if anyone else can confirm this.

Reuters is carrying it as well

On a similar note, Alassane Ouattara is a former prime minister of one of the original "French Africa" governments, Houphouet Boigny. Ouattara himself is a former IMF economist. It would be wise to be suspicious of the reasoning behind Western support for Ouattara as well.

While that is true, I'm not sure whether they would voluntarily accept the consequences of neoliberal policy if given a choice.
