ECOWAS reacts as terrorists hit Mali capital

The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) on Wednesday expressed “strong condemnation” of jihadist attacks which a day earlier hit the capital of Mali whose junta says it is quitting the regional body.

The ECOWAS said in a statement that it “wishes to reaffirm its condemnation of any terrorist attack which threatens the peace and security of people in the West African region”.

It “wants to reiterate its strong commitment in favour of any initiative” favourable to peace, it added.

Bamako was on Tuesday hit by a deadly attack claimed by an Al-Qaeda-linked group.

The Malian capital is normally spared the sort of attacks that occur almost daily in some parts of the West African country.

Details of the toll from the attack on a military police training centre and airport have not been released.

Mali, ruled by a military junta after back-to-back coups in 2020 and 2021, has since 2012 been ravaged by different factions d with Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State group.

It broke off ties with regional group ECOWAS in January at the same time as its neighbours Burkina Faso and Niger.

The three military-led countries accused ECOWAS of having failed to them in the battle against jihadist insurgents and of being subservient to former colonial power .

Mali, Guinea, Burkina Faso, Niger Republic have long bid ECOWAS goodbye.

Oh Africa! Threatened by both physical and digital insecurity everywhere. This reminds me, there's a new hacking attempt targeting WhatsApp s. Find out how to be safe here

Fight for control of mother Earth's resources has plunged Africa deep into unending conflicts.

Nothing concern me but E dey mind

When you hear terrorist attacks, what's the first thing that comes to your mind ?

Dear ECOWAS,

You know this stinks, right?

Stop acting like a toxic ex that goes on rampage after a breakup.

Don't be a tool for neo-colonialists .

Enough said.

They are not in ECOWAS but they are in the West African region. This reaction is not out of place.

It is just like the EU condemning an attack on London.

Obviously the coup solution is really really working out for them, isn't it.

Someone is now going to come and blame the CIA, Zionists, or the West for the issue, and not the fact that for donkey years, the governments of these countries ignored the poor of their countries, and did little in developing economies that were producers of industrial goods for export.

The sad thing is that the countries with elected governments are no better....Nigeria was already seeing attacks on Abuja long before Bamako got hit. And all because for decades governments preferred to share oil money rather than do actual development

The APC government that many like here was voted in on change. They just continued with the sharhing and corruption. Even now, we have no idea of how Tinubu wants to proceed on industrial development. Meanwhile, Boko and ISWAP , IPOB and even the Yoruba separatists, and the Fulani herdsmen, are all threatening our peace and quiet. Let's not forget bandits, and kidnappers.

All because African governments do not want to do the hard work of developing producer economies. Na to share money we know. Result...a large mass of youths for the devil to use free of charge.

Enjoy your terrorism and don't call ECOWAS for help. Abeg
Same way the biafrans are enjoying their sit at home and dem no dey call Nigeria

Religion of piss

Malvinne:
Terrorist just full Africa sha. I just feel the government are sponsoring them
.
Meanwhile at a cheap price dm me for your logo and flyer design

You get cheap rice too?

G

Africa is a sad place

probably sponsored by western governments who want them back in the fold.

BusyBody ECOWAS. Dem don leave Una. Make una rest abeg. If Una useFul to dem, they wouldn't leave una. Despite Una even pleading on more than 4 Knees for them to come back.

Do these countries have the capacity to fight these marauding terrorists individually?

I feel sorry for these people who dont know they are not fighting for God.
In fact who they fight for is not the God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob, and thus NOT God.

Lets paint a picture
Nigeria prospered under Gowon, OBJ & GEJ.

Nigeria suffered under Buhari, IBB, Abacha, Tinubu.

When Osinbajo took over things improved, once it went back to Buhari things worsened again.

What do Gowon, OBJ , GEJ & Osinbajo have in common? Jesus!

What do Buhari, IBB, Abacha, Tinubu all have in common, Islam!

Make of it what you will

attacking Malians with their puppet terrorist groups. Same thing happening here in Nigeria. The British use Boko Haram to threaten and bend Nigerian leaders to their will. The West is a curse to humanity.

When you SACK a Security Man because Security is no longer needed, that SECURITY-Man might choose to make you see reasons why His services are still needed

AngelicBeing:

People often say that common sense is not so common. After reading your post, it seems you need help. How can you make jokes about people losing their lives to terror? Did you smoke weed? Don’t you realize that no one is immune to such attacks? We all live daily by His grace. You are heartless.

I'm not a Muslim. You need common sense to know who is funding these terrorist groups. Look up who founded and trained Al queda. Look up who founded and trained the Taliban. I pray you have sense one day.
