Mali Refusing UN Peacekeeping Force

Revelation 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).

Mali’s government has not given the United Nations permission to send a peacekeeping force in the wake of their war with Islamic terrorists saying they’re “hesitant” to allow the foreign troops on their soil.

“We do not have a clear green light from the government of Mali yet for a peacekeeping operation,” Deputy Secretary-General Jan Eliasson told the BBC. He added that outside nations involved in providing logistical and military support to Mali so far are in favor of the mission.

Thousands of French troops helped Mali’s army recapture cities in the northern part of the country that had been under Islamic terrorist control since April 2012.

The UN force would only enter the country after combat operations have ended according to Mr. Eliasson. The bulk of the force would contain troops from other African nations like Chad, Niger,Nigeria,Togo and Senegal.

The terrorists released a statement Saturday saying they would continue their attacks.

“We are dedicating ourselves to carrying out more attacks against France and its allies,” the statement read.

The terrorists are using more common terror tactics like homicide bombers who attacked two checkpoints in Gao on Saturday.
