“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4)
“Several killed by suspected jihadists in northern Burkina Faso,” AFP, November 2, 2021:
Suspected jihadists killed around 10 civilians in northern Burkina Faso, officials said Tuesday, while four people were suspected to have been kidnapped.
“Around 10 civilians were executed” after armed men, likely belonging to the region’s Islamic State branch, attacked residents of Dambam heading to market, a military official said.
The attack took place on Monday in the country’s north near the border with Niger.
Troops “were deployed in the area to reinforce security and search it because four other people” went missing heading to the market in Markoye, he said.
A local official said “terrorists set up a checkpoint on the road between Dambam and Markoye and intercepted all those heading to the market”.
He said the “four people who went missing were kidnapped by the jihadists” as the assailants targeted people on foot, motorcycles and other vehicles.
Another local official told AFP “most of the victims were murdered in a cowardly manner, their throats slit” and vehicles burned….
Markoye is close to the so-called tri-border region of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger that have seen a surge of bloody jihadist attacks….
Its armed forces are poorly trained and equipped against highly mobile jihadist units linked to Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State group….

Muhammad: But how can I get people to worship you, oh most merciful Allah?
Allah: If they refuse to do as you say murder them in a most cowardly fashion by cutting their throats.
Muhammad: Sounds reasonable to me.
Me: What a piece of shit religion.

The people are “poorly equipped and trained” to deal with the fully armed al queda and isis….esp now after biden and crew left so much in afghanistan to be distributed about…a whole heck-of- a lot to go around…
No supply chain problems for mozlum terrorists.
And, there was much “training” going on with afghans and some in Syria, learning the art of modern warfare, so it’s no wonder that the authorities in this African nation are outgunned.
