Violence and failures breed

Violence and failures breed dictatorships Benin, a narrow coastal country next to Nigeria, suffered its worst terrorist attack ever this year. Officials revealed on April 24th that al-Qaeda-linked militants had killed 54 soldiers in the country’s north the previous week—shattering earlier reports of just 8 fatalities and marking a grim new chapter in west Africa’s escalating violence. Jihadist groups are spreading from their heartlands in the Sahel, a vast semi-arid region just south of the Sahara Desert, into countries on the Gulf of Guinea on the Atlantic coast, in particular Benin, Ghana, Ivory Coast and Togo. แทงบอล
