Ramadan Death Count: Syria: 03/05/20:

(Afrin) A fuel tanker which exploded in the middle of Turkish occupied Afrin (The Syrian Kurd homeland) on the 28th April resulting in the deaths of 53 people and wounding another 50 has been attributed to an act of revenge/vengeance/terrorism by the Kurds in response to the Turks invasion and occupation of their homeland in 2018  and who have since then have proceeded to ethnically cleanse the area of Kurds and replace them with Sunni Muslims with a bent towards jihad 

Well it has now come out in the wash that somebody had affixed a hand grenade to the fuel tanker before driving it into the middle of Jihad central .

Ramadan Death Count: Iran: 03/05/20

(Gulran)  On Friday Iranian border guards who came across around 70 migrants from Afghanistan in search of work decided to teach them a lesson they wouldn’t forget, so they offered them work , and then when the day was finished , instead of payment they were tortured and then driven to the Harirud river which forms the border between Afghanistan and Iran and told to jump in or be shot.  Of the roughly 70 people.  Whilst the majority made it across the river, 7 bodies have been recovered with another approximately  30 people missing.

Iran has denied the incident. I'm adding 7 to the list, which I will update when more information is forthcoming

Ramadan Death Count: Central African Republic: 01/05/20

(N'dele)  The Central African Republic has witnessed nothing but murder,death kill after Islamic groups took over the primarily christian (80%) country in 2013 . The problem there was 80% Christian will always outweigh the 10% Muslim population and in the push back entire Islamic communities were forced to move resulting in a religious demographic shift where the north of the country is populated by Muslims and the rest of the country by Christians.

In the north, the remnants of the Islamic groups Séléka split into two main groups and are still slugging it out amongst themselves in which to see who will be leader. Which is why different factions of the Popular Front for the Rebirth of the Central African Republic (FPRC) had a huge bun fight  on Wednesday in the town of N'dele resulting in 25 deaths.

Ramadan Death Count: Libya 4/06/19 (Washup)

(Tripoli)  The World Health Organisation has reported that between the 4th April and the 31st May 2019, the conflict around the capital between the 2 main (But rival) factions has resulted in  607 deaths and 3,261 wounded. Seen as Ramadan began on the 6th of May I am simply going to cut the figure in half minus 3 for the 3 deaths I reported on the country since the beginning of Ramadan and then cut 100 from that figure to err on the side of caution and leaving me with a figure of 200.
The break down for that  607 is as follows:

• Libyan National Army: 194 deaths
• Government of National Accord: 373 killed
• Civilians : 40 killed

Fighting around Tripoli airport over the weekend saw 15 soldiers from the UN recognised 'Government of National Accord killed by General Hafters Libyan National army.

Ramadan Death Count: Nigeria /Chad/Niger/Senegal 03/06/19

(Lake Chad) is the convergent point for 3 African counties (Nigeria/Chad/Senegal) with a fourth Niger only 20 miles away.

In the past due to tightly held jurisdiction, national pride and a very blurred border  there has been an acute lack of cooperation between the four states over most matters, but specifically security , this has been exploited by the likes of Boko Haram who when faced with pressure from one country has simply crossed the border into another, allowing them to regroup and live another day.

However everything changed in 2014 when France deployed 3000 troops to Niger , Mali and Chad in which to take on the jihaists who had taken control of most of Mali and were spreading out to other countries in the region in which to cause mischief. Under the guidance of the French, the four countries around Lake Chad have started sharing information and working together in which to clamp down on these religious bigots who feel that they should get to rule by the bullet and the bomb rather than the ballot box. Well over the weekend a combined operation by the four countries paid dividends when they corned 20 armed Boko Haram thugs who pressed on all sides found they had no route to go other than 6 feet under. 4 soldiers were wounded during the engagement.

Ramadan Death Count: Sudan 03/06/19

(Khartoum) The people of Sudan  not content with forcing the former dictator for life Omar al-Bashir to be replaced by the military after 30 years in power decided to remain to continue to protest over the continuance of military rule. Yesterday the new dictators for life decided to express their displeasure and shot dead at least 35 peaceful protesters in cold blood in the capital leaving hundreds more wounded after they directed their troops to open fire into the protesters.

Kind of explains why the new dictators have refused to ship Bashir to the Hague on that 10 year old international arrest warrant for genocide.

Ramadan Death Count: Afghanstan 01/06/19

(Qarabagh)  Roughly half way between Kabul and Kadahar is the town of Qarbagh  and as the road runs parallel to the border with Pakistan it is a favourite area for Taliban terrorists to strut their stuff. So it was at 2 am Saturday morning when the Red unit of the Taliban (Their version of Special Forces) decided to launch an attack on Afghan forces in the region Problem was the Afghan army was ready for them and when the sun came up over 100 terrorists lay dead on the floor.

(Ghazni) Just up the road from Qarbagh lies the city of Ghazni and on Friday a car bomb was detonated near a police compound killing 6 and injuring another 8. From the looks of things, it appears the bomb was a diversion from the main attack down the road a day later.

(Kabul) Also on Friday a suicide car-bomb was detonated in Kabul as a US army convoy was passing. 4 afghan civilians were killed ,and 4 Americans were lightly injured.

(Kabul)  On Thursday a suicide bombing near a military training centre in the Afghan capital claimed the lives of 6 people and wounded another six.

Ramadan Death Count: Lebanon 29/05/19

(Saadiyat) This evening 2 geezers on a motorbike decided to lob a stun grenade into a Hezb-allah mosque.
