No Lives Matter.

On Monday (23/11/15) pre-Summit meetings will begin for the 21st Conference of Parties (COP21) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Paris, France. On November 30th (30/11/15) the COP21 Summit proper will begin.

Eleven days later on December 11th (11/12/15) COP21 is scheduled to end with the signing of a global climate change deal to replace the Kyoto Protocol.

The problem is that the fiefdom of the al-Saud family - Saudi Arabia - is almost entirely dependent on nations continuing to buy and burn fossil fuels at wildly inflated prices further contributing to global warning. As such the al-Sauds have made it quite clear that they will not allow this agreement to be signed.

The original plan was that the entire process would die out at the COP18 Summit in Doha, Qatar - the fossil fuel producing fiefdom of the al-Thani family. Unfortunately for them the process proved too resilient and not only survived Doha but gained momentum.

So the al-Sauds and the al-Thanis gave up on rational arguments and moved into naked violence and intimidation. The intention being to so terrorise developing nations - predominately in Africa - that they wouldn't dare to sign up to an agreement no matter how much it benefited them.

For example the 2014 COP20 Summit was held on a military base just outside Lima, Peru. Two days after it ended Islamist terrorist tore through a similar facility in Peshawar, Pakistan killing 9 adults and 132 children.

The message was quite simply that it didn't matter what security precautions the leaders of developing nations took if they dared to sign up the al-Sauds would still be able to find them and kill them and their children.

The main base for this terror rampage though has been Yemen which sits on Saudi Arabia's southern border. From there they are able to support Islamists in Somalia to attack nations across east and central Africa. In climate change circles when we talk about the concept of "Loss & Damage" we always refer to the "Nairobi Work Program" which was devised in the Kenyan capital.

In 2012 the al-Sauds also tried establishing an operating base in west Africa. Using Islamists who been trained and equipped to overthrow the Libyan government of Muammer Qaddafi an Islamic State was established across northern Mali from where they could attack surrounding nations such as Chad, Cameroon, Mauritania and oil-rich Nigeria.

In 2013 France stepped up and using military force eliminated this Islamic State in less then 5 weeks.

Unfortunately the Islamists re-established themselves in Nigeria under the guise of Boko Haram. Under great pressure from the United States it was impossible to ask France to do any more so Boko Haram were allowed to thrive in Nigeria.

In April 2015 the US even used Boko Haram as an excuse to justify the overthrowing the Nigerian government and replace it with Muhammadu Buhari - a known Boko Haram sympathiser.

In January 2015 the al-Sauds made it clear that they were not afraid to strike both at the heart of Europe and the heart of the UNFCCC process launching two days of terror attacks across the French capital Paris. They struck again in Paris last Friday (13/11/15) massacring 129 civilians.

Coming hot on the heels of the bombing of Kogalymavia flight 7K9268 in Egypt which killed 224 civilians it was clear that these terror attacks were only going to intensify in the run up to and throughout the COP21 Summit.

For example while the world's media has been fixated on the Place de Republic in Paris Boko Haram have been launching waves of suicide bombings that have been killing people at a rate of about one an hour.

Today it seems that Islamist fighters have slipped back into Mali from Nigeria and are currently attacking an American-owned hotel in the centre of the capital Bamako. With France maintaining a military presence in Mali this places a huge degree of extra pressure on them ahead of COP21.

It also seems intended to send the message that France's intervention in Mali was a failure. This simply isn't true because there is a world of difference between being able to send a couple of guys to attack a hotel and being able to occupy a section of a country roughly the size of the US state of Texas.

Plus we've all always known that the threat to Mali and all of west Africa won't have been completely eliminated until Boko Haram have been completely eliminated.

Unfortunately this looks like it will be all I'll be able to offer in terms of analysis of the Bamako attack. That's not because I care less about Mali then I do about France. It's because there is very little of me left and I really need a break.

US President Barack Obama of course remains on holiday. Overnight he's been doing his favourite thing of giving a speech about how he wishes to tackle climate change to an adoring crowd.

With every word he knew that unless he returns to work to tackle this terror threat there will be no action to tackle climate but it won't affect his reputation because he'll just blame it on the blacks.
