There were
more protests in Hong Kong against Communist China’s violation of its agreement
with the United Kingdom
in 1997 whereby it had agreed to respect the territory’s autonomy and
freedom. The U.K., which has been among the many States condemning Peking’s encroachments on Hong Kong,
is offering passports to millions of the City State’s
residents.
French
forces in northern Mali have
killed the Algerian-born leader of al-Qaeda in the Maghreb (North Africa),
which has been responsible for hundreds of killings in Mali and
surrounding States. France sent troops to its former territory in
2013 to assist Malian forces against Islamist rebels in the north, pushing them
from the Sahel and oases in the Sahara into
the desert. Other African States have
also been aiding Mali
militarily. The United States
also has been supporting the fight against al-Qaeda as part of the War on
Terrorism.
