Nothing to fear but fear itself'. Just support our regional troops and work with us. How can they come and preach Islam to Africans when they never set good example. Our region is open to all, religious and naturalist or free thinkers. This is a wake up call to understand the physical realities of this world. Order is imminent in our region and no one must left untouch. The regional troops must stay in Mali for a while as the whole of North Africa is in turmoil and criminals might use that as an opportunity to create breeding nest that can be use to extend their forceful and unfriendly interest in our region. The integration of the regional communities is very important and the US and the EU should help us to achieve this. Only unity that can save and secure lives.
