Jihadists have been rampaging for 1400 years, while “colonialists” take the blame.
On June 6, jihadists murdered 27 people and burned some alive in attacks on predominantly Christian villages. “The Islamic insurgency, “mainly led by groups linked to Al-Qaeda or the so-called Islamic State group, has claimed thousands of military and civilian lives and forced hundreds of thousands from their homes.”
Now, less than two weeks after the attack on the Christian village, comes an “ambush on a military convoy in central Mali left 24 soldiers dead and an unspecified number missing…It was the latest in a string of assaults by jihadists who unleashed a revolt in northern Mali in 2012 that has spread to Burkina Faso and Niger despite the presence of thousands of French and UN troops.”
America has been aiding French efforts there, as France has pleaded for more aid from the Trump administration. Although France has killed the highly influential leader of Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (which has stated its mission to establish Sharia within the region and globally), innocent Christian families are the usual victims of these rampaging jihadists, who are escalating their activities in the Sahel region of Africa.
A clash between al-Qaeda and the Islamic State has also been raging in the Sahel region, where the Islamic State has been proliferating after its downfall in Syria and Iraq. Although it’s good news that the two groups are not uniting, the clashes are also causing more unrest and creating more instability for locals.
“Dozens of Malian troops killed in jihadist ambush on military convoy,” France24, June 15, 2020:
A weekend ambush on a military convoy in central Mali left 24 soldiers dead and an unspecified number missing, the army said Monday, blaming the assault on jihadists.
In posts on social media, the army did not enumerate the missing but said eight soldiers escaped the attack on around a dozen vehicles Sunday at Bouka Were, around 100 kilometres (60 miles) from the border with Mauritania…

At least this is being reported by France 24. So many of these atrocities are not being covered in the West at all.
