The people of Mali continue to experience gunfire in their streets, as the "Islamist Militants" claim that they plan to fight all French troops and their allies. The gunfire in the town of Gao, began the day after a suicide bombing. The article begins by talking about the gunfire and suicide bombing to establish the author's logos, it is not until the end that pathos is established. At the end the author says that people are barricaded in their homes, to protect themselves. This is pathos because, it is a statement that allows the audience to identify with the intensity of the situation, but still communicates the logos that the fighting is serious and ongoing. It is also mentioned within the article that the Islamist are fighting in the name of jihad, this is also logos because it communicates again the usage of jihad incorrectly.These radical Islamist misrepresent the idea of struggle within the Islamic faith. Presenting it as a justification to kill and rebel, but in actually it is a basic principle to interpret and communicate with the world more peacefully than not.
