… This is in Algeria… This is Maghrebia, a consortium of Northern Africa countries. The Sahel region, a section that is becoming another training and recruiting area for terrorists is getting attention by various authorities. Many compare this region to Afghanistan in nature when referring to a safe haven for terrorists. Many new terrorists are going to Iraq from this region for training and are returning with their new found education. Northern Africa is part of a growing source for oil and gas. Libya has a lot of exploration and development contracts already awarded and in progress. Algeria, Tunisia, and as far over as Sudan are also developing petroleum resources. Is it a coincidence Al Qaeda is paying attention to this area?
I believe their long range goal is to destroy our way of life. They believe that by shutting down oil available to the United States and Europe is the key to the demise of our way of life. The growth and dominance of an Islamic Caliphate stretching from Pakistan to the Atlantic Ocean is their stated goal.
Why doesn’t our Congress believe them? Our current Congress is doing, or trying to do, so many things that aid these sworn enemies of the United States as I see it. It really upsets me.

The left map is the Sahel region. The other Maghreb. Google Suhel for an eye-opening education into what may become everyday items in the breaking news section of our newspapers.
