Mali: Muslims murder six in jihad attack headquarters of G5 Sahel anti-terror force

Jun 30, 2018 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“A suicide bomber tried to penetrate the base at Sévaré in central Mali, according to a security source. A local orange seller, Haoussa Haidara, said ‘there was a huge blast’ followed by exchanges of gunfire. Gunshots could still be heard an hour later.”

“Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties, for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed.” (Qur’an 9:111)

“At least six dead in Mali after attack on regional anti-terror force base,” Agence France-Presse, June 29, 2018:

Islamist militants have attacked the Malian headquarters of a regional anti-terror taskforce, killing six people and leaving many injured, according to a provisional toll.

A suicide bomber tried to penetrate the base at Sévaré in central Mali, according to a security source. A local orange seller, Haoussa Haidara, said “there was a huge blast” followed by exchanges of gunfire. Gunshots could still be heard an hour later.

It is the first attack on the headquarters of the joint G5 force, set up in 2017 to combat jihadist insurgents and criminal groups in the vast, unstable Sahel region of Africa. It came three days before a meeting in Nouakchott, Mauritania, between the French president, Emmanuel Macron, and the heads of the G5 Sahel states to discuss progress made by the force.

Six people were killed in the attack, according to a hospital and a military source, giving an interim toll. …

      I will rephrase part of the statement above as Robert quoted.”Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties for that they will have paradise ” Rephrased: “Satan has purchased the Islamist lives and their properties and for this they will have a place in the Lake of Fire.

    Why can’t snipers kill these evil people just as they start to fire upon the innocent and others they hate? TRAIN MORE SNIPERS!

    And Trudeau has committed 250 of our military to go to Mali as a peace keeping mission for two years. The first of these 250 arrived in Mali last week. It was a deal made by him and the UN. I wonder how many body bags will return to canada. I wonder if live specimens will replace each body bag to keep the number at the 250 mark. Canadians are not happy about this, but he does not care, he is making the UN happy and that is all that matters to him.

    36 dead in Islamic militia attack on village in central Mali
    • Thirty-six civilians were killed in an attack by a militia on a village in central Mali.
    BAMAKO, Mali (AP) — A community militia killed 32 civilians in an attack on a village in central Mali then returned shortly after Malian soldiers left and killed four more, the head of the West African nation’s largest ethnic Fulani association said late Sunday.
    Mali’s government earlier in the day confirmed the first attack and said 16 people were killed, as the Fulani ethnic group faces growing pressure over accusations of links to al-Qaida extremists.
    The death tolls differed because many bodies had been buried by the time Malian soldiers responded, Abdoul Aziz Diallo with the Tabital Pulaku association told The Associated Press
    The original attack occurred Saturday when militia members killed herders outside Koumaga before entering and “starting to fire on the villagers,” Diallo said.
    As soon as Malian soldiers left the village Sunday afternoon militia members returned, killing a man and his three sons, Diallo said.
    Koumaga village has the reputation of being the birthplace of a number of al-Qaida-linked extremists. Such fighters have been attacking security forces and a U.N. peacekeeping mission in Mali regularly since 2015.
    The growing insecurity is a key concern ahead of the July 29 election in which President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita is running again.
    Concerns have risen over alleged abuses by Malian security forces during counterterror operations in Fulani-majority areas where extremists linked to al-Qaida and the Islamic State group have carried out attacks and recruited locals as fighters.
    Last week the United States expressed concern after Mali’s government acknowledged allegations by the Fulani association and others that soldiers had entered another village, Nantaka, separated out 25 Fulani men and killed them.
    Mali’s government also confirmed the existence of three graves discovered by residents outside the village and said it would investigate.
    The vast majority of civilians reported killed in counterterror operations have been Fulani, and human rights groups have warned that abuses risk pushing villagers into joining extremist groups.
    Mali is part of a five-nation regional force launched a year ago to counter the growing extremist threat in the vast Sahel region. Reversing the worsening security situation “will be frustratingly, unsatisfyingly slow,” the U.S. military’s special operations commander in Africa, Maj. Gen. Marcus Hicks, told the AP earlier this year.
