🇬🇧 The #UnitedKingdom now advises against all travel to 🇲🇱 #Mali, including Bamako.

🚩 The new advisory makes direct reference to JNIM's ongoing blockade on "key routes throughout Southern and Western Mali, including the capital city of Bamako".

Diarra will comply. This is the power of embargoes: not just an instrument of warfare but also a massively effective instrument of governance. We have a major bus company accepting the ruling of a jihadist group, making wonder who governs Mali

#NobelPeacePrize to Maria Corina #Machado
a courageous defender of freedom by peaceful means, who truly deserves this prize!

This year, the #NobelPeacePrize sheds light on the opposition in Venezuela, highlighting a politician who stands against the militarisation of society.

Who will win the #NobelPeacePrize 2025?

The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize laureate will be announced on Friday, 10 October at 11 CET.

There is a high number of candidates nominated this year: 338.
My prediction? A grassroots name far from the wars in Palestine and Ukraine.

Il peace-washing svuota di ogni significato il termine pace, lo riduce a slogan, a dichiarazioni o imposizioni invece che mediazione.

A timely and insightful report from the Timbuktu Institute on the security situation in #Mali.

In #Kayes and in other areas, JNIM adopts an "economic jihad" through blockades.

The road Dakar-Bamako through Kayes accounts for 30% of Mali's imports by land.
