Ann: Quarterly Activities Report, page-77

Why would I sell out when I believe I've got a reasonable chance of seeing my money back? Clearly you don't read my posts. If the SP reaches my 31.8 cent average I might consider selling depending on the circumstances at the time. I see the company apologist is back with a preemptive post to smooth over the report of the killing of the Jihadists in the north and we are all supposed to be waiting with bated breath for his next words of wisdom. Oh no, it,s radio silience time again, what shall we all do? how will the world go on.......lol

I'm no fan of these people but less killing and less frequent events of this type is what we really would like to see.
Escallation is never a good thing.

Here is a link that gives a pretty comprehensive opinion/analysis/paper on the present situation with terrorism in the Sahel and how it is believed to have come about (published by a Morrocan policy orientated think tank).

http://www.ocppc.ma/publications/violent-extremism-sahel-birth-third-generatiion-terrorism

The Jihadits in the BF region, according to this paper, are going under the acronmy JNIM. You can find a map showing their areas of influnce in the above link and some discussion about the group which is being described as third generation in the Sahel and composed of these people and militia groups.

"Iyad Ag Ghali, the leader of Ansar Dine, surrounded by the representatives of four other jihadist organisations active in the Sahel, who are:
- Abu El-Hammamoooooo, the leader of the Saharan Emirate, AQIM’s 9th military zone;
- Amadou Koufa, the leader of the Macina Brigade, the Fulani battalion of Ansar Dine.
- Al-Hassan al-Ansari, the second man of the “al-Mourabitoun” movement, led by the Algerian Mokhtar Belmokhtar;
and Abderrahmane Sanhaji, AQIM’s judge"

The statement (below) from the above opinion/analysis is worrying. Escallation might lead to more recruits and further escallation. This seems like more than a group of opportunistc raiders to me and if my previous hypothesis is correct, the actions of these terrorists have already led to the appointment of the new prime minister of BF that is not aligned with the ruling political party. A marriage of necessity and a win for the old political guard who are probably cheering the possibilty of using these events to strengthen their own politicsl postion.

"The video, from which the snapshot was taken, announced the creation of JNIM, an alliance resulting from the merger of four groups already present in the region. It is the largest gathering of terrorists in the history of the region."
