Here are jihadis directly targeting civilians, and aside from a bit of huffing and puffing from a low-level UN rep, no one seems to mind. Why? Israel is not involved.
“Rebels tied to Al-Qaida killed at least 40 civilians in Burkina Faso, UN says,” AP, November 29, 2023:
ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — At least 40 civilians were killed last weekend by al-Qaida-linked rebels trying to take control of a besieged town in Burkina Faso’s hard-hit northern region, the United Nations’ rights office said, calling the attack a war crime.
In one of the largest clashes in recent years in the West African nation under threat from fighters linked to al-Qaida and the Islamic State group, a large number of fighters tried to take control of Djibo near Mali’s border.
The town, located 210 kilometres (130 miles) from the capital, Ouagadougou, has been under blockade by rebels for more than a year, often struggling to provide essential services.
The militants in the latest attack, which happened on Sunday, also wounded 42 people and set fire to three camps for internally displaced people, U.N. Human Rights Office spokesperson Seif Magango said in a statement on Tuesday that blamed the attack on JNIM, an umbrella coalition of armed groups aligned with al-Qaida.
“Deliberately targeting civilians or individuals not taking direct part in hostilities constitutes a war crime,” the U.N. department said, citing reports from its workers on the ground….
“Attacks on civilians are inexcusable and must stop, and those responsible must be held to account following thorough, impartial and independent investigations by the authorities,” the U.N. statement added.
Around half of Burkina Faso’s territory remains outside of government control. The landlocked country has been ravaged by jihadi attacks….

Burkina Faso was much better off when it wa start of French West Africa, At least back then there was some semblance of law and order. Now with a Muslim supermajority, the country is incapable of or lacking desire to (or both) protect its Christian citizens from the Muslim rampage. And by the way, it is one of the poorest countries in Africa, so the outside world really doesn’t care what happens there.
And, of course it is off the radar screen of the UN because it does not involve Israel.
Lastly, has anyone questioned why the US funds the UN and gives them a nice place in NYC for them to do absolutely nothing of importance diplomacywise while giving their ambassadors NYC as a playground to rack up millions in unpaid parking tickets while they dine in fine restaurants? The UN’s mission is to prevent wars. But I know of none that they successfully prevented or shortened.

The islamic slaughter of others is occurring right across Africa eg 67,000 Christians in plateau state in Nigeria in the last ~10 years. A friend from there was going back and expected to be murdered by muslims. They throw bombs into churches during the service, they slaughter, rape, chop ….and the UN says and does nothing, nor does anyone else!!! The west must stop funding the UN, shut it down as it is used to get money from the west and give it to muslim groups. My friend explained, they could only get food, medicine given by the UN to the muslims, if they converted to islam. Black muslims don’t know their text and are being used as the hadith say black people were created for hell; mohammad said satan looked like a black man, people with black faces go to hell and more. How dumb can the black muslims be….they could stop the slaughter and live a decent life.
