Indeed, as I write, CNN mentions that “two Islamist groups have claimed credit.”

Also in Africa is Nigeria (mentioned above).

Is seems that Boko Haram has been very busy while Americans have stopped looking (after their recent presidential election), out pacing the death of ISIS this year.

LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) – A new report says Nigeria’s Boko Haram Islamic insurgents have become the world’s deadliest extremist group, edging out the Islamic State group to which it is affiliated.

The Global Terrorism Index says deaths attributed to Boko Haram increased by 317 percent in 2014 to 6,644 compared to 6,073 blamed on Islamic State. Boko Haram pledged allegiance to IS in March and calls itself that group’s West Africa Province.

The two are responsible for 51 percent of deaths by terror worldwide, according to the report published by the New York City-based Institute for Economics and Peace.

The primary difference between Boko Haram and ISIS is that most deaths for the latter are met on the field of battle, while the former’s come during attacks on rural homes.

CNN mentions a fresh 10 dead in Fotokol (northeast Nigeria), in a Boko Haram bomb blast.

Just remember, this isn’t about Islam. Hussein Obama tells us so, and we know we can rely on Him for telling the Truth.

The Mali I saw, with Timbuktu, was from the 790 AD though. And yes, slave trade was going there under Islam, way before Europeans figured out how to form colonies in Africa.

Think Timbuktu and the weirdest national borders on any map.

Then, you’ve got it.

Think “Beau Geste.”

Yes, it’s in Francophone Africa.

Hence, he’s only got energy at the microphone for HIS ardent wishes.

He’s not motivated enough to fake sincerity.

The spread of al Qaeda, ISIS, and other such Islamic jihadi groups continues apace. We have a coalition of 65 countries (according to Obama) and a plan (according to Obama), which we are assured (by Obama) will defeat them because they are on the wrong side of history (according to Obama). We can now all enjoy our Thanksgiving holiday because we are safe (according to Obama).

We don’t hear much. But if the kardashians would only shake their fat butts in Ouagadougous we might put the continent of Africa on the map.

Quite right, the Left’s propaganda is focused on a laser pin point, with a mission statement.

There were black activists, actual Africans, in Africa and Libya, who noticed that Kaddafi was going to go off the fiat currency model and create his own gold bank and provide investment support to the rest of Africa. Then America kills him. Backed by Soros and other wealthy people. Did that look good to the Africans? Probably not.

Among professionals on the ground in Africa there is a certain amount of grumbling about French meddling in African affairs. You don’t hear it in the US, but then if you reflect a little you’ll realize you hear very little about Africa in the US. As a continent three times the continental USA and with 52 (more or less) nations, you could expect a little news to creep into American newspapers and TV. If it doesn’t involve swollen-bellied children or wild animals, chances are it won’t make the cut. Pretty much the same with South America, unless it has to do with drugs.

Zombies do what they are ordered to do. If their masters had seen fit to give the order, it would have been obeyed.
