Impassioned appeal to help Mali

This evening on the Anna Will German TV show Christof Wackernagle made an impassioned appeal to the German Government to send Bundeswehr troops to assist the French Army in Mali.

Wackernagel, who is an artist, is a former RAF operative and has for many years turned his back on all forms of violence. But he now believes that the people of Mali need immediate help to protect their country against outside aggressors.

Wackernagel has spent a number of years living in Mali.
