When Muslims attack. Christmas. It’s the most dangerous time of the year for Christians across the world in the age of jihad (that and Ramadan). No media coverage, of course, or Christchurch outrage
The morning raid was carried out by dozens of jihadists on motorbikes and lasted several hours before armed forces backed by the air force drove the militants back. The army said the attack was of a “rare intensity”.
“A large group of terrorists simultaneously attacked the military base and the civilian population in Arbinda,” the army chief of staff said in a statement.
“This barbaric attack resulted in the deaths of 35 civilian victims, most of them women,” President Roch Marc Christian Kabore said on Twitter, praising the “bravery and commitment” of the defence and security forces.
Burkina Faso, which borders, Mali and Niger, has endured regular jihadist attacks which have left hundreds dead since the start of 2015 when militant violence began to spread across the Sahel region.
More than 700 people have been killed and around 560,000 internally displaced by the violence, according to the United Nations.

En mémoire des victimes civiles et militaires de l'attaque terroriste de ce mardi à Arbinda, j'ai décidé de décréter un deuil national de 48 heures sur toute l'étendue du territoire national à compter du mercredi 25 décembre à zéro (00) heure.

31 women killed in Christmas Eve attack in Burkina Faso
By Africa Times editor, 25 December 2019:
hristmas Eve in Burkina Faso has been marred by a terrorist attack that has claimed 42 lives, with President Roch Marc Christian Kaboré declaring a two-day period of national mourning that begins at midnight.
The attack happened Tuesday morning in the village of Arbinda, in the northeast Soum territory along the border with Mali. At least 35 civilians, 31 of them women, were killed, according to Burkinabe officials. Another six civilians were injured.
Seven members of the national armed forces also were killed and another 20 injured. The military said it was able to “neutralize” some 80 extremists while seizing large numbers of munitions and vehicles.
The government also appealed for extra vigilance during the end-of-year season in its statement. Armed attacks on churches in Burkina Faso have increased – an attack on a Protestant congregation earlier this month left 14 people dead – and Christians in the West African nation have been on edge during the holiday season. Attacks on mosques in the border region also have occurred.
Kaboré called the attack barbaric and expressed his support, and that of the nation, for the military forces.
Burkina Faso’s president is the current leader of the G5 Sahel nations, which also include Chad, Mali, Niger and Mauritania. During an extraordinary summit last week in Niamey – moved from Ouagadougou to honor 70 Nigerien troops also killed in a December attack – the G5 leaders agreed to recalibrate security operations to adjust to the increasing threat in the Mali-Niger-Burkina Faso border region.

Christians murdered on Christmas Eve by the pedophile’s followers … and funded by whom?
Nothing to see here: The Liestream Enemedia is funded by fellow travelers.
Pray for our enemies … for otherwise they will perish in their sin and be doomed forever.
It’s a sad Christmas in Burkina Faso.
It’s already here in the USA. It’s just a matter of time before the devil’s servants loose their goblins on Americans.
Yes, it’s horrible … nonetheless, Merry Christmas …
Terrible No other comments needed.
Pamela, keep up the good work of educating about the islamic barbarians and their cohorts in governments. Shalom
that shows you what vaginas muslims are
Yup. Clitless vaginas, at that.
Snip…
Some moslems “snip” their young. However, the VAST majority of ’em CHOP it out, in its entirety.
And it’s commonly done WITHOUT the benefit of anesthesia. I’d like to see how any of the various muslum loving women in the enemedia would handle having a clitorectomy without anesthesia.
Ta-ra-ra-boom-de-ay, did you get yours today?
I got mine yesterday, that’s why I walk this way!
TOO forkin’ funny!
Need to grab the few good people out and nuke the rest.
Who supplies the direct funds for weapons and logistics? That’s THE answer, and the media won’t print it’s name.
0’bama? Just asking. He’s filthy rich.
Wahhabists from Arabia and Kuwait fund this!
The Africa Times headline reads: “31 WOMEN KILLED IN CHRISTMAS EVE ATTACK IN BURKINA FASO”. Apparently, the 11 men killed (4 men at the Church and 7 men in the armed forces) doesn’t even rate a mention. If it had been mostly men who were killed, would that have made it any better? Why are men’s lives less valuable than women’s?
As multiculturalism has not worked in any western country we need to go back to the beggining and segregate people in to their original tribes and lands the way India and pakistan did. islam is only compatible with islam.
What is sad is the media only appears to cover muslims being killed never christians.
While we exchange inane, useless crap as gifts these terrible murders and outrages by islam occur the world over. Our celebration should be the extermination of thousands of wahhabbist moslems. The earth will never know peace as long as there is one mosque still standing.
Thousands? We ain’t safe until that number hits the 1.2 billion mark.
Nuke the kaabox.
