Jihadis emboldened everywhere.
“Jihadist attack in Burkina Faso kills 47 people,” Agence France-Presse, August 19, 2021:
Burkina Faso’s president has declared three days of national mourning after suspected jihadists killed 47 people, including 30 civilians, in an attack in the north of the country.
The attack was the latest bloodshed in an area with high levels of Islamist violence.
The assault on Wednesday near the town of Gorgadji left 14 soldiers and three militia volunteers dead, the communications ministry said.
The soldiers and militia had been guarding civilians setting off for Arbinda, another town in northern Burkina. In an ensuing gun battle, security forces killed 58 “terrorists” and put the rest to flight, according to the government. Nineteen people were also wounded, it said. “Rescue and relief operations are continuing,” it said.
The area is in the notorious “three-border” zone where Burkina Faso meets Mali and Niger, a focus of the jihadist violence that plagues the wider Sahel region of west Africa.
It was the third major attack on Burkinabe soldiers in the past two weeks, including one on 4 August near the Niger border, which killed 30 people, including 11 civilians.
The president, Roch Marc Christian Kaboré, declared three days of national mourning from Thursday for the victims of the latest attack, according to an official decree….

We do not hear anything about this disgusting action by Islamic’s upon the defenceless people of Burkina Faso. Shame on the worlds media for not rallying to the defence of Africans.
Lion heart says
They only tell about Muslim interpreters who worked with Canadian and American forces and who wanna make it to the west to wage jihad by killing especially Christians & Jews and rape white nonMuslim girls when they get the chance! and I am a Canadian Christian guy originally from Iraq and we saw how after the fall of Saddam’s bloody regime, even so called moderate Muslims including longtime Muslim neighbours to Christians started to kill Christians and kidnap and rape Christian girls .
marc says
This is a vile opinion you shared, while that could be said of the afghan forces, the interpreters are a very different bunch, I know many returned service men who will vouch for what they called their eyes and ears.
john smith says
Marc in all fairness to Lion Heart, if there is anyone on this site who knows what he is talking about, it is him.
marc says
“who knows what he is talking about, it is him” no, he has no idea, they are top of kill list and easily identified https://www.google.com/search?q=afghan+interpreter+killed

What is it about knowing both English and Pashto/Urdu that would make a muslim different from his average comrades in the Afghan armed forces?
marc says
They are seen as total sellouts by the Taliban, they get very close to the teams they worked with, they fed intel, they have fully rejected the worst of islam when doing so, they have an excellent track record, they are just not the same. The Taliban is not hunting Ex-Afghan forces, only the interpreters. Interpreters are travelling with their own families, so not a majority of military age boys alone like we saw in the recent photo op on a c14.
john smith says
Marc I wasn’t trying to have a go at you in my post, and I do apologies if I came across that way.
What I was trying to say is, Lion Heart was brought up as a Christian in Iraq. So he knows first hand the hardships that Christians have to endure under such a regime. The rest of us can only imagine.
marc says
I speak to the serving and vets daily, and it would be good for you to also, they would have the best perception, I spoke to one today mentioning this thread, he said “after 5 years with us, they will have dropped any of the savage, but they still need vetting”. So to say “all” is just wrong, and we spent no time at all in Iraq, so he would not know any interpreters.
john smith says
True Sally, we here absolutely nothing about these atrocities, and such islamic atrocities are happening on a daily basis somewhere in the world. But you would certainly here about them if it was muslims being slaughtered.
Mike says
so where is the UN
o yea the UN is an extension of Islam
Holger Kruger says
Not belive in the UN…

People have to take weapon into there hands, so they can protect themselves.
