JNIM blockades cut off Bamako supply routes

Local reports indicate that no buses or trucks from Mauritania, Senegal, or Guinea have reached Bamako in the past month due to JNIM blockades. The Africa Corps has reportedly stopped escorting civilian convoys headed to the capital and is concentrating its forces on securing Bamako and the Koulikoro region. Analysts assess that JNIM may be increasing efforts to seize the Malian capital, prompting the shift in Africa Corps strategy.
