Putin Uses Deadliest Russian Technology on ISIS for Mali

Russian President Vladimir Putin called for wold collaboration against ISIS after the Sinai bombing and the latest terrorist attack in Mali. In Mali, Islamist militants killed 19 people, including 6 Russians.

Putin Fights Back Against Terrorism

Friday’s assault came a week after militants killed 130 people the Paris attacks were confirmed to be made by the Islamic State, and 3 weeks after a Russian airplane was downed over the Sinai by what Moscow and Western federal governments claim was a bomb, killing all 224 people aboard.

The bloodshed at the Radisson Blu resort in Mali, a previous French colony, evoked the problems French troops as well as U.N. peacekeepers encounter in recovering protection and order in a West African state that has fought rebels and also militants in its weakly-governed desert north for many years.

Mali: Terrorism Will Not Win

Jihadist groups Al Mourabitoun and Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb claimed responsibility for the assault, which ended when Malian commandos stormed the building as well as saved 170 people, a number of them immigrants.  President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita stated 2 militants were killed in the commando operation.

His federal government raised safety at strategic factors around Bamako at the beginning of a declared 10-day state of unexpected emergency. Keita said in a statement that Mali will certainly not close down due to this strike, as Paris and NYC were not shut down after they faced terrorism. In a final note, Keita said simply: ‘terrorism will not win’.
