These desperate times so africas we armed groups inflicting heavy losses and forcing thousands of civilians from the. Leaders of the countries affected no one us g 5 scrambled this meeting in yemi didnt find a solution almost president Mohammad Yousuf who says the frequency of sophistication of recent attacks these wars of. The scale of terrorist attacks are getting larger day after day terrorists are getting more sophisticated weapons the terrorists have been real war professionals they progress every day on the strategic operative and tactical levels.

Leaders have agreed to improve cooperation between National Forces joint military operations and International Allies as well as bit of coordination on both a political and strategic level theyve also agreed on information sharing between security institutions and the countries to better feist terrorism. Earlier the leaders paid their respects at the graves of 720 just soldiers killed last week when fighters linked to eisele over on that base in the ninetys more than 230 soldiers have been killed in mali but you know possible and me here over the past 4 months in addition to 30 french troops who died in helicopter pollution while hunting for the fighters in the electorate region but what i mean its really its a rabbit out of touch with you know armies and its a group of seniors raising concerns of more violence in the coming weeks and months the g 5 leaders have concluded their summit but their citizens living on the front lines are desperate for help for now although its not clear if the resolutions of the summit will do that well lets go live to address who is in mollys capital hi there ed so what was the outcome of that emergency meeting the g 5 so hell members that happened in the. Well basically the leaders realize that acting alone in tackling the violence in their region will not help and will not work so they have resolved to forge khan closer collaboration between civil and military institutions in their regions as a last help communities especially on the front lines then they also resolve to lobby harder for International Allies to come but they also want any corporation between their choice and interNational Forces to be that of Mutual Respect and understanding. Remember there are more than 15000. 00 interNational Forces in the region but largely these attacks are being carried out the attacks being carried out by armed groups in the sahara were actually targeted mainly at military positions military positions in particular past or in mali and major in particular and these armies for most of the times ive been acting alone defending their territories and these are ill equipped and poorly funded militaries in the region of this hell they dont have enough resources and the channel 3 their cover is actually so wide that they dont have enough resources to deal with these problems with the u.

Theyve taken so much that they feel they cannot take anymore however they feel that the interNational Forces here in the region should do more than they have they are already doing to to curb the the number of attacks being carried out not only on military targets but also on civilians in the region so they are looking at the meeting of the United Nations in new york with expectations that the United Nations will do more International Troops that deployed here will also do more to cover the rise in cases of attacks in the region needed to stay with the lines of what the latest from bamako.
