France to hand over frozen Libyan assets to rebels
France said Monday it was handing over $259
million in frozen Libyan funds to the country's opposition and allowing
the rebels' new ambassador to use the country's mothballed embassy in
Paris.
The French Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the money — currently frozen in French banks — must be used for humanitarian purchases, in accordance with European law.
The announcements came after French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe's meeting Monday with Mansour Seyf al-Nasr, the Libyan opposition's new ambassador to Paris.

Viva la France. France considers this seed money for future benefits. Not that it is theirs.

France has no business getting involved in the policies and politics of other countries. Their history of self serving interests made a mess out of places in the past like Syria and SE Asia. After screwing things up they have a history of making a fast exit then leaving it up to others to then clean up the problems left behind.
