Part 3: Rising Africa Section 25 The Human Heart

In several northern districts of Mali, the Movement for National Liberation of Azawad (MNL) and Defenders al-Islam (Al-Islami) have reached a preliminary agreement to merge into one and establish an independent Islamic State to govern the "Azawad" region. However, the two forces have different backgrounds and political aims, with the Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLAD), whose majority of its members are Tuaregs who want to establish an independent state in northern Mali, and Defender al-Islami's more religious organization, whose goal is to enforce Islamic law throughout Mali.

The Malian armed forces are composed of the army, air force, gendarmerie, police, republican guard and militia, with a total strength of about 15,000 troops. Among them, 7,000 are in the Army, 500 in the Air Force, 50 in the Navy (inland river troops), 1,800 in the Gendarmerie, 1,000 in the Police, 2,000 in the Republican Guard, and 3,000 in the Militia. The African-led International Support Mission in Mali (hereinafter referred to as the "African Mission") currently has about 6,000 troops deployed in Malaysia, and the French army has about 6,000 troops deployed in Malaysia.

Now that both rebel forces have ostensibly been squeezed out of northern Mali, the Malian government army also controls all the northern areas, but its northern border is in the center of the Sahara Desert, most of the people are concentrated in the south, and the military strength is weak, it is impossible to ensure that the military force is deployed in the vast area of the north, and can only control some important towns, in fact, many places are under the control of Islamic tribal armed personnel and Christian local self-defense armed groups, some of which are sympathetic to the government forces, Some are in favor of Islam and some are in favor of Azawad. There are even those who have gone crazy to join the terrorist attacks.

The northern Malian town of Hufa is not the first town to be attacked by this group of armed men who call themselves the Earth Justice Alliance, who usually wear Arab robes on the outside, and when they come to battle, they take off their robes to reveal the all-black special operations uniforms and put on their hoods, just like the special forces in the film, who only kill targets throughout the battle and rarely communicate with each other in words. Every attack is a premeditated attack. Then retreat along the pre-established route, as it is now.

Wadugagu reported respectfully to Zhang Nanjiang, "Captain, the person who led the way is here, and three of them have been arranged. ”

"Okay, great, old way, you take your people and guides to guide the way, and arrange people to be near the target." After several operations, Zhang Nanjiang organized a squad of about 20 people for Wadugagu. to assist him in his clean-up plan.

Suddenly, the town burst into the town like wolves and tigers of the armed elements of the Earth Justice League, the doors of the local residents were kicked and smashed, the windows were smashed, the furniture was destroyed, the local gangsters, slave owners, and clan elders were all tied to the square, Wadugagu raised a large knife, cut the neck of the gangster, the head fell off, and blood spurted out thirty or forty centimeters away. He hurriedly untied the deceased's clothes, exposing his chest, then drew his knife and made a large opening from chest to abdomen. He then opened the ribs of his chest horizontally, and then used his hands and a knife to remove the flesh from the ribs, and at this time, the yellowish fat, muscle, and bright red blood were mixed together. Snow-white ribs were exposed underneath. As everyone watched with bated breath, Wadugagu thrust his right hand through the crack in his ribs. After a while, a bloody hand came out. He stretched out his palm, and everyone saw that it was a purple-red ball, what is it? It's the heart of a man!

Zhang Nanjiang also gathered the people of Wadugagu and used the people tied there as targets for training the recruits to shoot and stab, demonstrating to them and teaching them to practice at the same time. In order to make the natives afraid, they cut off their ears, or cut off their noses, or cut their mouths with sabers in their mouths. Or stick a knife under the eyelid. The white eyeballs hung down like fish's eyes, five inches in size.

Because Zhang Nanjiang's team does not need logistics, does not need a base area, does not need reputation, according to the rhythm of the devil entering the village, first the traitors lead the way, then the puppet army opens the way, and then the devils sweep, but they do not kill the civilians who are captured, and only deal with the target groups they choose, and soon the armed killing of the Earth Justice Alliance triggered a new round of serious humanitarian crisis in northern Mali, many people fled to Mauritania, Algeria, Niger, and more people migrated to southern Mali, It was at this time that Vadugagu publicly claimed responsibility for the series of attacks by the Earth Justice Alliance, claiming that he was a military force hired by the United States to fight terrorist groups and not harm civilians.

The spokesman of the US State Department replied as soon as possible, firmly denying that the series of attacks were actions at the behest of the US Government, saying that they were deliberately blamed by terrorist organizations and were terrorist attacks against humanity.

At a time when many countries and social organizations condemned the incident, Bishop Dibins, spokesman for the Golden Crow Church, issued a statement in Bamako, the capital of Mali, saying that the Crow Church condemned the behavior of extremist religious forces in northern Mali, demanded that the Malian authorities deploy forces to fight the militants of the Earth Justice Coalition as soon as possible, and announced that the Golden Crow Church had entered northern Mali for humanitarian assistance, and called on different religions and beliefs to abandon their prejudices and help the people in the northern region.

On the same day, the Malian government held a cabinet meeting in the capital Bamako, chaired by Madou Abdel, to declare an immediate 15-day state of emergency across the country, and then Malian President Madou Abdul urgently sent letters to the UN Secretary-General and the President of France requesting assistance. In a televised address on Malian national television, Malian President Madou Abdul called on the whole country to support the Malian army in its fight against armed terrorists, called on commercial enterprises throughout the country to provide material support to the Malian army, and called for the requisition of pickup trucks throughout the country for the use of the army. President Madou Abdel said that the current situation in Mali is still under control and that in the face of tensions in northern Mali, it is necessary to mobilize the entire Malian army to confront armed terrorists in northern Mali.

Lei Dong looked at the TV broadcast in the room and said, "Their action is late, the French will not participate in the ground offensive, all we want is a chance, and a chaotic Mali is such an opportunity." ”

"I will immediately inform you that the Mali Development Party should recruit a large number of people to expand its influence in northern Mali." The fat man said excitedly.

Lei Dong immediately stopped, "No, the development party must operate legally in the areas under the actual control of the government, and if it wants to enter northern Mali, it must follow the opposition party." We don't need to be aggressive, from now on you can recruit a lot of people and spread out your stalls in Mali, you can even open the faΓ§ade in front of them, but there is a point that the north of Mali must be the last to enter. ”

"Why? In this way, we are one step slower than others. The leopard barked, and he couldn't figure it out.

"Any battle is a contest of material and spiritual strength between the two sides, and in the end, whoever has the most strength left in these two areas will be the victor. What do you think was the decisive influence on this war? Lei Dong asked himself, "The decision to win or lose the battle in Mali is not a one-shot confrontation. It is not the gain or loss of one city and one place, but to occupy more people's hearts and positive international influence, the key is whether the Jinwu Sect can play the role of relieving the suffering and saving all sentient beings? ”

Wang Dali was originally selling strong pills on the street, getting up early every day and shuttling through various market towns in the dark, and the city management did a persistent struggle, and later he joined the Flying Dragon Club with honor, and after breaking away from that small circle, he looked back at his own life, that is a history of hardship and struggle in life, in fact, his purpose for entering the Flying Dragon Club is very clear. Join the underworld to find an opportunity to beat the vicious deputy captain of the chengguan a few times, and later after education, his ideological realm has been improved, he wants to set up the deputy captain of the chengguan and mix it with concrete and pour it in the bridge pier. Now that he had become a priest of the Golden Crow Sect, he realized his mistake and he went to the confessional room to confess, and he no longer wanted to put the deputy captain of the chengguan team up and mix it with concrete and pour it in the piers. Such a murder is evil, and God would not like his followers to do this, and he now hopes that the deputy captain of the chengguan will also come here. I can go to preach and preach with him every day, so that he understands that it is not easy to be a slave, this is the hope of Wang Dali, an ordinary Jinwu priest, if he can get the annual assessment of excellence, he can achieve this wish, so he is working hard.

Hufa town is now a replica of a violent block, robbery, rape and murder cases emerge one after another, citizens dare not go to the street, there are no government officials, no tribal leaders, everything is chaotic, the former gangsters unscrupulously come out to extort, Wang Dali wore a black robe and held a whip in his hand when he entered the market town, what he saw was garbage all over the ground, and occasionally a few pedestrians passed by with a stupid face, and walked away with expressionless self-care, this is a market without life and hope.

It is a traditional virtue of the Malians to be charitable and to help others. Whether in the city or in the countryside, when encountering passers-by who have nowhere to stay, even if they are unknowns, the host will warmly invite them to their homes after hearing the news, generously entertain, arrange food and lodging, and treat them as guests. Locals will never turn passers-by away on the grounds of large family size and small living rooms, and some families will repeatedly keep passers-by to stay for a longer period of time before leaving.

Although most of their food has been snatched away by the evil gangsters, but still received the missionaries from afar, these days later Wang Dali is not afraid of dirty, not afraid of tired, in the labor of extensive contact with the town residents, take the initiative to make friends with them, familiar with the local situation Wang Dali left the town of Hufa two days later, a few days later, he returned to the town with a cart full of grain, against bags of flour sent to the poor families in urgent need of food, the reputation of the Jinwu religion soon spread in this place, Wang Dali took the opportunity to set up a night school, encouraged all those who wanted to learn to enter the school to study, regardless of whether he was an old man or a child or a poor or rich person, preached the doctrine of the salvation of the Golden Crow Religion and the doctrine of the Golden Crow Religion to oppose darkness and pursue light, believing that light will eventually defeat darkness, and propagated the theory that "the catastrophe is coming, the heavens and the earth are dark, the sun and the moon have no light, and when there is thunder, it will change", "one earth, one Africa, one religion", and "the world will change greatly". Instilling that the relationship between the church and the church is a brotherly and sisterly relationship, calling on fellow believers to help each other and equality between men and women. These remarks made the residents of the town in turmoil suddenly find spiritual sustenance, because now the leaders of other sects are either dead or have run away, and now this is a vacuum area for sects, and the Golden Crow Sect is here to fill in the blanks.
