Macron: French military eliminated IS leader in Africa

26

The French military eliminated the leader of IS * in Africa. We are talking about the leader, so to speak, of the subsidiary group of the "Islamic State" (IS) * Adnan Abu Walid al-Sahrawi. He led Islamists in the Sahel region of Western Sahara.

The elimination of the terrorist was announced by French President Emmanuel Macron on Twitter.



He called this event one of the most significant victories over Islamists in this African region.

Today the people think about all their heroes who died for France in the Sahel. Together with our African, European and American partners, we will continue this fight

- said the French president.

Not only the French, but also the Americans and the authorities of a number of West African countries were interested in catching or eliminating the militant. For information about him, the United States offered five million dollars.


Destroyed by the French armed forces, Adnan Abu Walid al-Sahrawi led the banned in several countries extremist terrorist organization Islamic State * in the Greater Sahara (ISGS), operating in the African countries of the Sahel region.

The Islamic State (IS) * is an extremist organization recognized as terrorist and banned on the territory of the Russian Federation.

      The Islamic State in the Greater Sahara came into being when Abu Walid and his followers split from Al-Murabitun, a splinter group from al-Qaeda.
      The schismatic, however.
      Just wondering where the "Sahel" is tracked down consists of ten countries located on both sides of the southern border of the Sahara.

      The French would be better off fighting the Islamists in their own country, not in Africa.

    Just one question for Mr. Macron: What are the French troops doing in Africa? Just as the Americans in Afghanistan bring a bright, democratic future to the local population?

        How is that?
        They protect our national heritage and the interests of Gazprom.
        If Qatar extends its gas pipeline to Europe through Syria, who will buy "dirty" Russian gas from SP-1 and SP-2?
        Gas is not yet dollars, but if you sell it, then of course. hi

            Well, I see you think of yourself as a "universal mind", and you mean only
            can it be?
            Or do you react so painfully to the disadvantages?

      So before the First World War, France was the second colonial power after Britain.
      And they cannot just throw "a piece of someone else's delicious pie."

    We have heard the same story about Ben Laden, who, long before his martyrdom from the brave Yankees, died a natural death. If only to hyip on something and "glorify" yourself. Inglorious and dishonorable ki ...

    "President Emmanuel Macron ... called this event one of the most significant victories over Islamists in this African region. "

    ISIS is an Islamic response to modern European neo-colonialism.
    Does Macron really think that something will end there ?!
    Most likely, it will continue with the next terrorist attacks in France, there are now Islamists, more than enough.

    First, start the destruction of Libya, endlessly greet the Arab spring, and then destroy the former wards in Africa one by one - pseudo-insurgents raised by the special services!

    I would also call it epoch-making, how the French Armed Forces defeated one barmaley. And by the way, the Americans promised 5 lamas? Just for a pack of cigarettes for every French soldier - Biden, take out your portmanteau!

    As it all went modestly. Again, you have to believe, but the phone just before the seizure, as for evil, the battery sat down ................... just like Benya Ladonov. At first he shot back, and at the end he also drowned

    In the morning I listened to the French news - they boasted about it, at noon they already said that they were not sure whether they killed him, and whether the French did it and maybe it was the Russians who killed him. there was no special operation of the French, but there was a Russian raid.

    This is called "getting caught". Mikron has just set up Baydown and Boryusik with cancer, and so "here's your ISIS man for you!"

    The western country again killed someone in the back. Taking an example from the USA. What a victory! This is how they live - they ravage and destroy foreign countries, and constantly kill people. Preferably in the back. Or in a crowd, and then they shout WOW! Abomination.
