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).
French officials are telling their citizens to leave northern Cameroon after the kidnapping of seven French citizens by Islamic terrorists.
The terrorists are believed to be from neighboring Nigeria and connected to al-Qaeda related Boko Haram. The latest kidnapping, which includes four children, brings the total of recently kidnapped French citizens in that region of Africa to 15.
The kidnappings started after French forces entered Mali to drive back Islamic terrorists attempting to take over the nation and install strict Sharia law on the population. A second Islamic terror group in the region, Ansaru, has stated their actions are directly in response to the French military intervention.
The families taken Wednesday were ambushed by gunmen on motorcycles as they were returning from a visit to Waza National Park.
“If everything is confirmed, this signifies that the fight against terrorist groups is a necessity,” said French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told the AP.
