Where is Black Lives Matter speaking out about the carnage in Africa, where jihadists are murdering blacks wholesale, from the genocide against Christians in Nigeria to Islamic expansionism throughout the Sahel region, where thousands have been killed and over four million were displaced in 2022?
Armed groups linked to al-Qaeda and the Islamic State have been warring and expanding the territory they control since 2012. Now, Germany is speeding up its Mali withdrawal in the midst of the extremely violent conflict, following in the footsteps of France. According to Europe News:
Berlin says political and security conditions in Mali, which is run by a military junta, can no longer justify the deployment of 1,000 German peacekeepers.
In 2013, France expressed surprise at the fighting strength of the Mali jihadists. The violence continued to spread across the Sahel region, despite international military peacekeeping efforts. In 2021, French troops prepared to withdraw from Mali over fear of the resurgence of jihad groups, but not before killing Abdelmalek Droukdel, a highly influential and visionary al-Qaeda leader whose mission extended beyond al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, in his quest for global expansion of the Sharia.
As the violent jihad expands across Africa, Germany, France and the UK continue to keep their borders wide open, so that any jihadist who chooses to infiltrate the illegal migrant streams is free to do so; and they have been taking advantage of the opportunity.
