Mali Still Stands - Tribute

By Penny Arcos

Early in the morning, battle lines were drawn

Ten thousand faithless bandits, like locusts in a swarm

Fought the Russian forces and the warriors of FAMa

Gao, Kidal, Kati... Bamako and Sévaré- 

Targets for imperialists to make another Syria.

A kamikaze driver blew up the General’s home.

Two children and a wife, in heaven now they roam.

The neighboring mosque was crushed by the blast.

The faithful in prayer, breathed their very last. 

Assailants burst in… to Camara’s home.

Assailants faced the point… of Camara’s gun

The Genera; stood. The terrorists fell.

An ambulance took the brave Camara.

For Mali’s FAMa, he gave his all. 

France 24 and BBC, Al Jazeera, Jeune Afrique

Fabricating lies, attacking liberty.

The terrorists are “rebels”. The soldiers are the “junta”.

“Thousands forced to flee, becoming refugees”. 

But Bamako stands - sovereign land. 

Europe, Ukraine…FLA and JNIM

Imperialist thieves, forced to retreat.

The people of Mali are still in command. 

They rooted out the cowards, hiding on their land. 

The army of Mali is still in command.

They neutralized the cowards, invading their land. 

Russian forces serving Mali - still in command.

United with Mali, for a sovereign land. 

Kidal. Kidal. Gateway to Sahel.

Secured by the president. Taken by the terrorists.

But Mali resolves - Kidal to reclaim. 

From Bamako to Ouaga and Niamey

The Sahel is still arising.

From Havana to Caracas and Brasilia

The South is still arising.

From Ramallah to Beirut and Tehran 

The Resistance is arising.

Moscow and Beijing leading the way

The multipolar world is the proven way.

For General Sadio Camara, Martyr of Kati
