Saw this while watching the election returns on France 24 (Marine LePen won her seat!!)

Why would anyone travel to Africa on vacation when there are so many nice beaches in Europe?

It’s for the cost conscious. Southern hemisphere gigolos are inexpensive.

Lord, have mercy on those hostages because we know the “gunmen”, whoever THEY might be (eye roll) won’t.

Holiday hotspot in Mali

Ranking right up their with high end spa in Raqqa.

I have some sympathy for the denizens of Mali and the inundation of terrorists. But holiday hotspot?

Holiday hotspot? Mali is a landlocked dustbowl.

Oh. Is that what this is? An "incident"?

Like a tourist activity gone awry? An unplanned addition to the itinerary?

Been less than 2 years since a Mali hotspot saw 27 tourists killed on ‘holiday’. Guess they thought lightning couldn’t strike twice.

“But holiday hotspot?

Euro’s term for vacation. Heap cheap is my guess. Probably not to cheap to get your corps home.

"Beach? Mali doesn’t even have a coastline."

Nor anything else a tourist might be interested in, but Mali does have gold and diamonds, and a lot of it too.
