Al Qaeda affiliate poised to capture Mali’s capital city

An al Qaeda affiliate is poised to capture Mali’s capital city: The Support Group for Islam and Muslims has overrun much of the country and is now blockading Bamako. Mali, a former French colony, relied on French peacekeepers to fight radical Islam, but following a 2021 coup, Mali’s new government has pressured France to leave. The current situation shows that Mali and other West African countries battling radical Islam have little choice but to return to Europe. Chapter 5 of Gerald Flurry’s free booklet The King of the South analyzes how this trend aligns with Bible prophecy.
