On the other hand, leader of the group of Tawhid and Jihad, Abu Abderrahman Maghribi said, in an exclusive interview with Echorouk, “We are seeking to apply the Sharia only, so why do they attack us and are in the opposite side of the mind, religion and common sense. Wallah we did not come out of our homes for the money or power or prestige, but we went out for “La ilaha illa allah” (no god but Allah), and Mohammed is the Messenger of Allah”, and ” The world does not attract us. We, adults, men and young, we are devoted to this cause, and the afterlife. We get divorced with life. We are protecting the important headquarters in the region such as hospitals, orphanages, electricity and from‭ ‬robbers and outlaws‮.”‭‬

In another context, a source from the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad said that cars from the Tawhid and Jihad in West Africa tried to attack the international airport of “Gao”, but the intense debate and clashes between the soldiers of the movement and members of the Tawhid and Jihad in West Africa prevented such crimanal act, adding that the attackers were trying to blow up the airport runways, because they said they are seeking to reduce the military landing of any country or foreign power that can use the civilian airport in landing military aircrafts to bomb sites of Ansareddine, Tawhid and Jihad in West Africa groups ‮ “‭. ‬
