Islamist Militants in Africa Coordinate Efforts

Rev 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).

<blockquote>“We have so devalued human life in our society that for many people it is a small thing to kill another person.”

</blockquote>

The head of US Africa Command (Africom) is warning that three of Africa’s largest Islamist groups are coordinating efforts and materials.

General Carter Ham, commander of Africom, cited the North African al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) is sharing explosives and money with Boko Haram, the Islamic terrorist group slaughtering Christians in Nigeria.

Speaking in Washington, General Ham named Somalia’s al-Shabab as the third of the Islamist terror groups to be coordinating efforts.

The military coup in Mali has provided a safe haven for AQIM and is allowing the terror group to operate without conditions. The connections between that group and Boko Haram have been alleged but now a direct, operational link has been established between the groups.
