Mapping JNIM's devastating and ongoing two-week fuel blockade. Dozens, if not hundreds, of fuel tankers from Senegal, Ivory Coast, and Guinea have been destroyed, rendering the country's main roads practically unusable and strangling supply lines leading to the capital Bamako.

A pleasure to publish on Aaron Y. Zelin's Jihadology, which I've followed for many years This piece w/ @vincentfoucher.bsky.social examines the "Lakurawa" in Nigeria, a label we argue is being assumed by both Islamic State-Sahel and JNIM militants expanding into the country jihadology.net/2025/10/15/gue…
