Mali Conflict Persists Amid Shifting Alliances
Violence in Mali has continued to increase following the end of the UN Minusma mission in 2023. The blockade around Bamako has caused an oil crisis throughout the capital city. The source noted the government has previously attempted to negotiate different ways to ease the situation. The impact of the blockade depends on how the government and regime react. Mali's military leader Colonel Assimi Goïta has announced a blockade of the town of Catti. Goïta stated that attackers will be neutralized. Former government advisor Musa Kondo of the Sahel Institute noted the military has demonstrated the ability to mobilize fighters in the field. Witnesses on the road have reported being unable to cross due to the blockade. A joint force consisting of Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso is conducting operations, though security in Kikedal remains unassured.
