No tourists are welcome. They provide only an opportunity to “strike terror in the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60). That they were aid workers is of no importance. As far as jihadis are concerned, the aid that infidels offer is only an attempt to entice Muslims away from Islam. Accordingly, it should not be received with gratitude, but with increased suspicion and hostility, which inevitably leads in some cases to violence.
“French NGO workers among eight killed by gunmen in Niger, local governor says,” France 24, August 9, 2020:
Six French citizens and their local guide and driver were killed Sunday by gunmen riding motorcycles in an area of southwestern Niger that is home to the last West African giraffes, officials said.
It is believed to be the first such attack on tourists in the area, a popular attraction in the former French colony thanks to its unique population of West African or Niger giraffes….
Six French tourists killed in Niger are aid workers, confirms Paul Melly from Chatham House.
“There are eight dead: two Nigeriens including a guide and a driver, while the other six are French,” the governor of the Tillaberi region Tidjani Ibrahim Katiella told AFP….
A source close to the environmental services said the assault took place at around 11:30 am (1030 GMT) six kilometres (four miles) east of the town of Koure, which is an hour’s drive from the capital Niamey.
‘Most of the victims were shot’
“Most of the victims were shot… We found a magazine emptied of its cartridges at the scene,” the source told AFP.
“We do not know the identity of the attackers but they came on motorcycles through the bush and waited for the arrival of the tourists.”
The source added that the tourists’ vehicle belonged to the French humanitarian organisation ACTED….
The region has become a hideout for Sahel jihadist groups such as the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara (ISGS).
The use of motorcycles has been totally banned since January in an attempt to curb the movements of such jihadists.

Chilling. Disgusting.

Islam is an evil barbaric ideology. The media wil ignore this.
Guess what if I critique Islam I will be called a racist or the long name the Muslim brotherhood made up.
Meanwhile Muslims keep killing innocent people in the name of a false God and fake prophet.
There will be a world war brought on by fascist Islam.

So saddening. The gov’t of Chad took care of a lot these terrorists while Nigerien govt is yet to admit that the terrorists are not n it’s soil .

Islam: objects in your mirror maybe closer than they appear.
Except that in this case it’s not an object but a moral obscenity.
The ideology which must revolt all right thinking people.

My perspective: Ignorance of Islam is indefensible and NEVER travel to an Islamic nation (Niger is some 98-99% Muslim and though its constitution guarantees religious freedom, so did the 1936 USSR constitution—so conclude accordingly) unless absolutely necessary.

Wellington says,
“…NEVER travel to an Islamic nation…”
Agree 100%.
I have spent time in multiple islamic nations on military orders. I was protected by US Marines and, at times, Navy SEALs.
One may even sense a “veneer” of safety – but it can change in a New York minute.
DO NOT travel to any islamic nation – it is NOT worth the risk.

Kenya is very rich in wildlife.Last month a Muslim who was hiding in Yemen .but was being wanted for poaching rhinos and trafficking drugs was arrested at Mombasa airport and taken to Nairobi.Muslims in cahort with poachers from indigenous communities are wiping out wildlife in Africa.My fellow Africans should wake up and protect our continent.United Africans can drive Islam back to where it originated from.
gravenimage says
Yes–this is true, Otis. A lot of poaching funds Jihad terror.
kenek says
islam originated in the diseased mind of a mentally ill deviant, rapist and violent cowardly pervert.
This homosexual (Aisha said he like little boys) cross-dresser was named mohamed 100 years after his death, when the koran was written.
Apostasy must be encouraged and promoted to every moslem, together with a guarantee of safety and retribution.

European pagan says
No tourists are welcome. -> the countries can earn a lot of money from tourists. Hotels, restaurants, Airbnb, safari…… I like travelling and I am always sad when I read this kind of things.
Idol and Icon says
Hunt them down and put them down. If the UN had any morals or backbone an army would go in an completely eradicate the scum. Perhaps the French may.
OLD GUY says
Islamic animals that need to be exterminated from the world. The sad part is that nothing will happen to them because the liberal media will persecute any government that prosecuted a retaliation attack against these scum. If your muslim/islamic you get a free pass.
Jaydam says
Send in the west’s best soldiers, and remove these scumbags once and for all.
Its the only way to deal with them.
