A person is a reflection of their culture, of what they believe and how they live their lives. A bridge between the past and the future, between time and space and needs to try to keep them in harmony, less they become unbalanced. Not to be aware of the past and give it due consideration in the building of the future can distort the future. Neither is it wise to sacrifice your future because you choose to live in or as if you are in the past. One World One Human Race One Destiny (OWOHROD)

FRENCH ELECTIONS - WHO WILL THE POLITICIANS AND ELECTORATE BLAME? PART 3.
Yes, Francois Hollande has been leading an administration which followed and remained true to the path which his predecessor had set. He moved to the right of the political spectrum. He set his face against the Syrian government and joined the Nato fight to undermine it.
Thereby giving momentum to a fatal policy which has given rise to the massive immigration and migration movement which has added to France's and Europe's woes. The West's invasion of Libya and the destruction of that country's government and infra-structure had already set in motion the conditions for the movement of desperate people.
Hollande's continuation of his predecessor's allegiance to the West's attempt to re-establish the 'new old world order', had the effect of realising an 'economic scorched earth' strategy in the Maghreb and beyond.
So, it probably was not surprising that there should have been this massive movement of desperate people from the affected countries. If your policies deprive people of their safety and their livelihoods, they can either remain where they are or try to move to somewhere where they have the opportunity to be safe and earn a living.
Anybody who has been faced with such stark realities can well understand the attraction of Europe and the United States for people confronted by such desperation. Even if only a minority of them are likely to achieve their dream of getting there.
Hollande sent French forces into the Magreb to fight jihadists and try to stabilise France's former colonies, which have become destabilised, as a result of the myopic invasion of Libya and the overthrowing of its government. However, that has not proved successful in resolving the problem, as the underlying conditions giving rise to it remain.
Especially in terms of crises in these countries economies, as the attack on Libya collapse has resulted in thousands of foreign workers lose their jobs and having to migrate to other countries, in their search for a livelihood.
We might see religious fundamentalism as a major cause of the conflict which is consuming the Middle East, Africa and Asia, but a bigger factor is likely to the economic desperation of millions of people.
To be continued.
