]]> Islamist terrorists have killed ten United Nations peacekeepers in an attack on a northern Mali town.

25 Chadian troop were injured in the raid by Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb.

The jihadis say their attack is in response to the visit to Chad by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the re-establishment of diplomatic relations between their countries.

It shows yet again that the blue-helmets operation in Mali, known as MINUSMA is the most dangerous peacekeeping mission on the planet.

Chadian President Idris Deby, who visited Jerusalem last November, says Netanyahu’s visit does not change their stance on the  Palestinian issue.

Israel is bent on finding allies in the developing world that historically support the Palestinian cause.

AU Commission chair Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma says the continental body’s been overwhelmed by calls from Africans wanting the new passport.

The African passport is going to Heads of State, Foreign affairs ministers and top diplomats.

Dlamini Zuma says nations should accept the challenge to issue the African passports to their respective nationals.

She’s addressing her last summit before coming home to get involved in domestic politics.

She’s  challenging  the next commission to focus on achieving all indicators towards the AU blueprint Agenda 2063.
