JNIM, the al-Qaeda-linked jihadist group, has confirmed that it still maintains a presence within Mali's capital Bamako. The group claimed that it only withdrew from the city on April 25 as a 'goodwill gesture' from JNIM's leadership. This statement contradicts earlier reports of a full withdrawal and suggests the group retains the ability to operate in the capital. No further details on the extent of their presence were provided.
