The recent jihadist attack in Bamako, attributed to al-Qaida affiliate JNIM, has raised serious concerns about the Malian government's ability to manage its 12-year insurgency.
Reports indicate that fatalities from the violence may be as high as 100, with the government acknowledging the loss but withholding exact figures during initial disclosures.
As the attack saw damage to a World Food Programme aircraft, officials noted that this incident significantly hinders their ability to provide much-needed humanitarian aid across Mali.
Malian leaders express growing alarm over the expanding reach of jihadist groups throughout the Sahel, suggesting that similar attacks could spread further, impacting coastal West African nations.
