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).
One of the Islamic groups attempting to take over the Malian government has broken away from the fighting with government troops and is asking for discussions.
The Islamic Movement for Azawad said that it “rejects all forms of extremism and terrorism” that it has completely severed ties with the group fighting the government.
The move comes amid French military intervention that has driven the terrorist groups out of major cities and stopped their advance on the Malian capital. The al-Qaeda linked terrorist groups have been attempting to turn Mali into a nation with strict Sharia Law.
France and other nations have called the prospect of the groups overtaking the country a threat to create a “terrorist state.”
Government officials have not responded to the claim of the terrorist groups and have continued to bring in troops from other countries to fight the terrorists.
