MALI - TERRORIST ULTIMATUM TO ARMY & SEIZURE OF WOMEN

They carried on up dozens of women to other locations. These poor ladies are now used as "sex slaves."

MNLA and his accomplices (jihadists and narco traffickers) now control several localities north, Kidal and Menaka. In this locality (Menaka), they even took control of rural radio called "The Voice of Azawad".

Late last week, the terrorists asked the Malian army leave Menaka. They have even issued an ultimatum, it has-been learned. This ultimatum expired Monday.

But the situation becomes untenable for Mali soldiers. That are deployed at the camp. Meanwhile, acts of provocation multiply by terrorists.

Menaka consists mainly of Nigerian soldiers. They are often patrolling. But far from reassuring the population, these patrols have no effect on the terrorists. Instead, the MNLA and accomplices have strengthened their position in Menaka. Also, they carried on up dozens of women to other locations. These poor ladies are now used as "sex slaves." These are the same women who are manipulated and forced to march to demand the withdrawal of the Malian army.

But in Bamako, the capital of Mali, the Malian authorities choose to remain either silent or to lie by pretending that all is well in the north.
