Picture this. It’s August 1905, and you’re standing near Mahenge in what was then German East Africa.

There’s fighting breaking out. Dust in the air. Gunfire in the distance. And then, out of the bush, you see something striking.

Large groups of African fighters moving toward a German position. Not scattered. Not hiding. Moving forward, directly into it.

Now here is the thing. This is a very uneven fight.

On the German side, you have colonial troops led by officers like Theodor von Hassel.

They’re dug in. They’re organised. And they have machine guns.

They’re also supported by askari, African soldiers trained under German command.

On the other side, most of the fighters are carrying spears and bows.
Some have firearms, but nothing close to what they’re up against.

And yet, they keep advancing.

Not because they don’t understand the danger. But because many of them believe they are protected.

Before the fighting, they had taken part in a ritual.

They were given what was known as maji, a kind of sacred water.
The belief was that this would protect them. That bullets would not harm them.

Now, from a distance, that might sound irrational.

But when you place it in context, it starts to make more sense.

Because this wasn’t just about belief. It was about pressure.

By 1905, German rule in the region had become extremely harsh.
Forced labour. Heavy taxation. And in particular, forced cotton farming.

Entire communities were being pushed to the limit. So what you’re seeing here is not just a battlefield moment.

It’s the point where that pressure finally breaks.

This is the Maji Maji Rebellion. One of the largest uprisings against colonial rule in African history……..

STATEMENT
FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE CONFEDERATION OF SAHEL STATES (AES)
Following terrorist attacks carried out against the Republic of Mali
April 25, 2026
The Confederation of Sahel States, in its ongoing struggle for sovereignty, was the target of terrorist attacks on the morning of April 25, 2026, targeting several sites on Malian territory.
The coordination of the attacks, the targets chosen, the forces involved, as well as the logistics and weapons used, clearly indicate that these were long-planned and coordinated operations aimed at inflicting heavy losses on defense and security forces and spreading terror among innocent civilian populations of the Confederation of Sahel States, particularly in Mali.
The persistence of these barbaric and inhumane aggressions bears the mark of a monstrous plot supported by enemies of the Sahel’s liberation struggle, carried out through the confederal dynamic of the AES.
However, the sinister plan and destabilization attempt of these enemies of peace and unity in the Sahel were thwarted thanks to the professional, courageous, and determined response of the Malian armed forces.

The Confederation of Sahel States emphasizes that these ignoble, cowardly, and barbaric acts against a sovereign member state cannot shake the determination of the brave peoples of the Sahel to live free, in peace, and with dignity.
It expresses its deepest condolences to the families of the martyrs and wishes a swift recovery to the wounded.
The Confederation of Sahel States expresses to the Malian people, the Government of the Republic of Mali, and the valiant Malian Armed Forces (FAMa), its total, unconditional, and fraternal solidarity. It pays vibrant tribute to their extraordinary courage in repelling this barbaric aggression and neutralizing individuals from another era, acting on behalf of forces determined to undermine its sovereign vision.
It expresses its gratitude to all States and partners who, in a spirit of solidarity, have shown their support to the Malian people and once again demonstrated their commitment to stand alongside the States and peoples of the Sahel.

Done in Ouagadougou, April 25, 2026

Captain Ibrahim TRAORÉ
President of the Confederation of Sahel States
