On April 25, 2026, Mali experienced a series of coordinated attacks by jihadists, significantly impacting the military government's control. Key cities such as Bamako and Kati were among the targets.
The assailants included members of JNIM and pro-independence Tuaregs from the ALF, marking a notable escalation in the ongoing violence in the region.
These attacks pose a serious challenge to the ruling military junta, as they confront increasing instability and threats to their authority.
