fckyeahprettyafricans:Deadly Mali hotel attack: ‘They were shooting at anything that moved’(CNN)Gunmen who raided a Malian hotel shouted “Allahu akbar” as they sprayed bullets on tables of people who were gathered for breakfast, a witness said.The attackers did not say a word to anyone as they opened fire Friday morning, employee Tamba Couye said.They shot at “anything that moved” as terrified patrons dashed for cover all over the hotel, he said.By the time Malian and U.N. security forces rushed in and ended the siege hours later, bodies were scattered across the floors of the Radisson Blu Hotel in Bamako.At least 19 people were killed in the attack, said Olivier Salgado, a spokesman for the U.N. mission in the nation.Interesting to see how the media seemed to pay a little more attention than usual on this attack, but not because some Malians were either killed or injured. It was because one of the first Mali attack victim was an American and also some foreigners were either killed or held hostage.#ThemediadidagoodjobaboutjustfocusingontheAmericanlifelost#Thereisabiggerpicturethatthemediaispretendingnottosee#Onlycertainlivesmattertothem#blacklivesmatter#wehavetodobetterPlease pray for Mali and and not just for one life that was lost, but for all the lives that were lost in such a horrendous attack!
