Jihadists claim to have kidnapped Red Cross team in Mali

I do wish the world would stop calling these murderers, in Mali, Jihadists & Rebels. To wage Jihad is meant to be a spiritual struggle. Kidnap and murder can in no way be looked upon as such. What have Red Cross workers to do with Jihad, other than to be used as pawns. Rebels, rebel. This is not a rebellion taking place in Mali but a naked land grab by those who owe allegiance to Al Qaeda and a worldwide Islamist Caliphate. The “West” has been far from honest in it’s so called “war on terror”, encouraging the terrorists then intervening to stop them, playing Good cop and Bad cop they have continued to implode Africa particularly since 911, then coming in to guard it’s resources. East, North, West & Central Africa have suffered in various ways. Ask yourself how is it and why is it Africa has become the central theatre in the “war on terror”. Today is the anniversary of the release from prison in South Africa of the great MaDiba, Nelson Mandela, we all hoped it would be the start of a new chapter of peace for the continent. Let us hope and pray on this day that the captors of these and other souls held for political aims find it in their hearts to release them and follow MaDiba’s example of peace.

Anyone who kidnaps aid workers need to be shot, end of story. Their politics mean nothing.
