Al-Qaeda Affiliate Urges Unity Against Mali Government

BBC Radio 4 Bamako 12d11d Impact 5

The Al Qaeda-affiliated group JNIM issued an online statement urging political parties, armed forces, separatist groups, and traditional leaders to unite against the Malian military government. This call for action follows a series of attacks by jihadists and separatists last weekend. The group's statement comes as a tightening blockade around the capital, Bamako, continues. On Wednesday, the group warned that no one would be allowed into the city. Eyewitnesses report that road traffic has thinned and hundreds of vehicles are stranded on the outskirts of Bamako. The strength of the Malian government remains uncertain. The jihadist group JNIM has called for African nations to unite to overthrow the military government in Mali. This follows large-scale attacks carried out by the group earlier this week.
