are Mpraise, nickname ” Osama’s fatherHe is actually the mastermind behind the recent terrorist operation NouakchottIn other words: Was he the one who designed, financed, and led the escape of the four “Salafists” from the central prison in the Mauritanian capital, during the first week of this month? Or did he play the decisive role in implementing the plan and instructions, and his responsibility goes beyond the source from which it was issued?
I personally tend to the latter possibility, although I do not rule out that it is Osama’s fatherHe played a significant role in the design and planning phase. Perhaps, on the other hand, he was responsible for the failure of the second phase of the operation, as it did not take long for his colleagues to escape. After they were able to get out of prison armed, Only six days: We all remember how three of them were killed and the fourth was arrested following fierce resistance with which they confronted the National Gendarmerie in a rugged area in the south of the country. AdrarA resistance that led to the martyrdom of a gendarme, in addition to the two martyrs of the guards, who killed them in cold blood in the prison area as they were leaving it. Than poses Questions regarding choosing their path, and regarding the reason for their bloodshed and extreme aggression: Is it the choice of the mountainous and sandy road that they took to pass Adrar Was he successful? And who was behind it? And who, and how, was behind it Frame them in general, inside the prison and following their escape from it? And what is the role On Muhammad (Abu Osama) in all of that?
On the other hand, it puzzled me that the news of his arrest did not receive much interaction as much as we saw when neutralizing his fleeing colleagues. There is no doubt that this police operation, coinciding with the publication of the lists of candidates for the upcoming parliamentary, municipal and regional elections, has a role in the fact that his arrest did not receive the attention he deserves from the media and the pioneers of social networks. Which prompts us to warn: elections and internal political conflicts should not distract us from the two great challenges: the challenge of transnational organized crime and terrorism, and the challenge of climate change and environmental degradation, which is also transnational.
Excessive preoccupation with elections may lead to the opposite result: creating an atmosphere unfavorable for holding them. With the resulting hyperbole and extremist behaviors on which violent extremism and terrorism feed. As a result of this, great issues and challenges are neglected, on top of which is climate change and its repercussions. It is noticeable that this topic is almost completely absent from the current electoral discourses, regardless of the party that issues them.
