Malian forces continue to regain control of the Gao region. 🇲🇱🇷🇺 🏳️ 🏴 In July, the Malian Armed Forces (FAMa), together with the Afrika Corps, managed to reestablish the main supply line between Sevare and Gao by reinforcing garrisons along the road, allowing for a relatively stable connection (skirmishes with JNIM continue, albeit with less intensity) with the GATIA militias. JNIM’s power has continued to weaken in recent months due to airstrikes and counterterrorism operations, as well as the intensification of the conflict with the ISSP. This allowed government and Russian forces to enter the Intahaka area and its gold mines on October 18, establishing a stable connection along the final stretch of the road to the prefecture’s capital.
