Remember: the only reason why anyone would oppose jihad violence is “racism” and “bigotry.”
“Mali conflict: at least 51 people killed in attack by suspected jihadists,” by Emmanuel Akinwotu, Guardian, August 9, 2021:
More than 51 people have been killed in northern Mali by jihadists, who attacked three villages near the border with Niger, killing and torching homes, in the latest mass attack in a region beset by violence.
Militants on motorbikes overwhelmed the villages simultaneously on Sunday evening, entering and killing indiscriminately and burning and ransacking homes, according to security officials.
“The terrorists went into the villages and massacred everyone,” a military officer told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity. “More than 40 civilians were killed by terrorists on Sunday in the villages of Karou, Ouatagouna and Daoutegeft,” they said.
A Malian army patrol was sent to the affected communities on Monday. The death toll confirmed by the patrol was at least 51, according to Reuters.
“Provisional toll is 51 killed, several others injured,” read a note from the local district administrator to the Gao regional government in south-east Mali.
Another local official, who also spoke on condition of anonymity said “20 civilians were massacred in Karou. Fourteen civilians were killed in Ouatagouna, and other civilians were killed in the hamlet of Daoutegeft.”…
Armed groups linked to al-Qaida and the Islamic State terror group have launched attacks since 2012 in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger….

Why does Robert keep posting news that has already headlined on CNN and MSNBC? LOL!

I take your point–much of this is *not* covered by the MSM. But the Guardian is actually a mainstream news source.

I’d rather read English translations of Pravda or Izvestiya, if they’re still around

Infidel, I was not making a case for the general quality of the Guardian; just noting that it is indeed mainstream.
And I’m glad they covered this story.
Infidel says
So which Jewish, Christian or Hindu group is there in Mali oppressing muslims by their very existence?
gravenimage says
Yes–all of this “militancy” comes from one source.

Mali: Muslims raid three villages, murder 51 people, torch homes
…………….
More Jihad genocide in Africa.
OLD GUY says
Hey these Muslim want to come to America and be your neighbors. Biden’s travel agency will make the arrangements and move them and thousands of other migrants into you neighborhood.
I think the open border maybe our Biden administrations attempt to distract us from the China COVID attack. And their absolute failure to do anything about it.
Let’s face a fact China will rule, as long as they are not afraid to kill millions of civilians and no one stands up to them.
Hell of a position to be in.
