Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Mali: Prime minister and entire government resign as Islamic jihad violence surges

Apr 22, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

A glimpse into the future of Europe and North America.

“Prime minister and entire government of Mali resign as Islamist violence surges,” Agence France-Presse, April 19, 2019:

Mali’s prime minister resigned along with his entire government on Thursday following criticism over their handling of an upsurge of violence in the centre of the country and a massacre last month that left 160 people dead.

A statement from President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita’s office said he had accepted Soumeylou Boubeye Maiga’s resignation and that of his government two weeks after mass protests erupted over the rising tide of violence.

Lawmakers from both ruling and opposition parties had submitted a motion of no confidence against the government on Wednesday, blaming Maiga and his administration for failing to clamp down on the unrest….

The government had come under mounting pressure over its handling of violence in the restive Mopti region and especially a massacre on March 23 in which 160 people were killed in the village of Ogossagou near the border with Burkina Faso.

Members of the Dogon ethnic group – a hunting and farming community with a long history of tensions with the nomadic Fulani people over access to land – were blamed for the mass killing….

The Fulani have also been accused of supporting a jihadist preacher, Amadou Koufa, who rose to prominence in central Mali four years ago.

So-called self-defence groups emerged in the Dogon community with the declared role of providing protection against the insurgents.

But the militia, called the Dan Nan Ambassagou, also used its powers to attack the Fulani, and was ordered to be dissolved after the village massacre….

    Will the musicians who were continuing to play in spite of the Islamists now come to an end?
    I love their spirit and refusal to submit.

    Islam inflicts unending violence on Black Africans, while liberals in the USA do their best to blame Whites for all the problems of Black people.

      Islam inflicted over 120 million deaths on black Africans during the Islamic slave trade … the biggest RACIST GENOCIDE IN HISTORY.

      How can a self-respecting black African support this hideously evil SLAUGHTERER of black people?

    Isn’t Mali where Timbuktu is?

    So, there really isn’t a place on earth to hide from Muslims …..

    Oh, well…

    Time to sharpen our tongues, our wits, and our knives.

    Here’s to Our Defense !!!

      Pseudocrusader, your comments are not only stupid, but counterproductive to counterjihad which is about human rights. Your POLITICAL IDEOLOGY WAS CONDEMNED AT NUREMBURG and the LEADERS of your IDEOLOGY were severely punished so that such crimes as you promote would never be repeated.

        Mortimer, defending against Jihad violence is not fascism, as you appear to believe.

          “Just how was WW2 won, Mortimer?”
          We and our allies BOMBED the sh*t out of them! Razed their cities, destroyed their factories, destroyed their navies and airplanes, everything INCLUDING their innocents, today euphemistically termed as being “Collateral Damage” by the PC idiots! We fought the damn war TO WIN, and we did so by using the most extreme and effective means regardless of leftist/liberal/ MSM criticism!

    ………………..

    This kind of mass surrender is not apt to make things better.

    I would have loved to live in a country under French Colonial Rule. Well, when compared to Islamic “stone and chop” rule.

    nomadic Fulani….The “herdsmen” that have murdered so many, and burned down so many homes and churches, in Nigeria.

    Are the “Dogon ethnic group – a hunting and farming community ” really the ones to blame for the mass murders?

    The end battle will be a good vs. Evil battle and Islam through the Koran is clearly the Evil. If you haven’t read it and the interpretations, please do. You can’t argue against facts written by Muhammad. He was a warlords, not a religious leader. The book detail a sickening way of life. My God destroy Islam through our actions not words as is written.
