Fighters from the Islamic State’s local wing, commonly referred to as the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara (ISGS), have reportedly perpetrated a series of recent massacres across the Sahel. Almost 300 people are believed to have been killed in these attacks.
Yesterday, militants purportedly belonging to ISGS attacked three separate villages in Niger’s Tahoua region. Estimates on the death toll have varied with the Nigerien government officially reporting at least 137 people were killed.
Local sources, however, have reported as many as 176 people were left dead by the militants. It is possible this number will continue to rise as local officials continue to search the area.
According to one local official, “armed men arrived on motorbikes and shot at everything [that] moved.”

Hillary Emails Reveal True Motive for Libya Intervention
"Newly disclosed emails show that Libya’s plan to create a gold-backed currency to compete with the euro and dollar was a motive for NATO’s intervention."
Foreign Policy Journal is a progressive journal. Is the article any good? Don't know. It is more credible than the theory that it was started for access to beach front property that I heard form a dead talk show host (Not Rush Limbaugh).
Libya gave up is nuke and other WEMD programs and terrorism. The US would lift sanctions and establish diplomatic relations. George Bush did this., Then Obama came along and welched on the deal.
Obama’s Libya war was an illegal disaster, but at least he owned the cons
"The invasion also proved to be a disaster. By intervening in Libya’s civil war and deposing dictator Moammar Gadhafi, the United States and its allies created a power vacuum that empowered ISIS, al Qaeda, and species of terrorists you’ve never heard of. The chaos and bloodshed even spread into neighboring countries."
Thank you Obama! Ya putz!
