The world will take little, if any, notice of this. The international media would only be interested if the attackers were non-Muslim and the victims Muslim.
“Niger army base attack leaves at least 71 soldiers dead,” BBC, December 12, 2019:
Militants have killed at least 71 soldiers in an attack on a military base in western Niger – the deadliest in several years.
Twelve soldiers were also injured in the attack in Inates, the army says.
No group has yet said it was behind the killings.
But militants linked to al-Qaeda and the Islamic State group (IS) have staged attacks in the Sahel region this year despite the presence of thousands of regional and foreign troops.
Security analysts say the insurgency in Niger is escalating at an alarming rate.
Defence Minister Issoufou Katambe told the BBC “a large number of terrorists” had been “neutralised” during the attack, which happened on Tuesday afternoon.
Mr Katambe said there had been “a fierce battle” with “several hundred” militants in Inates, not far from the border with Mali….

Politicians in The west may think those savages started in the desert,that they are more likely to remain there.
Islam is the fastest growing religion in the US. Mosques are being built in every city and town.
Unless the violence instigated in the Koran is addressed in an affirmative and conclusive manner, the future of all democracies will be bleak.
ABOLISH DHIMMITUDE WORLDWIDE.
DHIMMITUDE is tantamount to slavery,racism and fascism combined.

Complete silence from Ardern in New Zealand. Does that indicate approval and support? Not a single word inn the Canadian media. Trudeau’s $600,000,000 bribe to the media evidently works.

“The MSM would only be interested if the attackers were non-moslem and the victims were moslem”, so true! Since 2000 moslems have killed THOUSANDS of westerners, but the MSM only woke up when an Aussie shot 51 moslems in NZ….

Where is the Western outrage?
In Niger, in Nigeria, in Egypt, Pakistan, Bangladesh – Islam forever, with bellicosity flourishes.
It is time for A Western Leader to point this out.
Greta Thunberg won’t – even though she is more at risk from being raped in Sweden, than at risk from climate change.
But…. that’s selective compassion for you !

Greta is most at risk of suffering a calamity induced by her own delusional drama. Her parents must be a real pair of imbeciles. Since greta is against global warming I hope that she seeks sterilization ASAP. I wish her parents had done so in time.

Is it known who is supplying the weapons?
It takes fire power to overcome an army base.

It’s that big country between Finland and China! Anything for financial gain is the motto these days.
David says
I think we know now where the terrorists scattered to from the middle east. Africa! Actually hat may be too simplistic of an assessment, since African Jihad has been active in murder and mayhem for years.
