The moment that some forty fuel tankers reportedly arrived in Bamako on 29/30 Oct, after the govt struck a prisoner release deal with #JNIM. The group apparently immediately reimposed the blockade again after the convoy arrived, amidst a school shutdown in #Mali

Yesterday's major ambush on the fuel convoy accompanied by the Malian army near the Kayes/Koulikoro border, seen in clips circulated in local groups

This video apparently shows a #JNIM spox warning Malians in Bambara against helping the military, to comply with JNIM as blockade enters 6th week

Note unusual media branding: "al-Fath Channel" (Chaine al-Fath), apparently a new - or little known - media outlet carrying messages in local languages

Last week I spoke to @johnsimpsonnews.bsky.social on BBC2's Unspun World about Ahmed al-Sharaa's appearance at the UN, #Syria's reintegration into the international and MENA regional community, and prospects for the future Syrian social contract

Videos circulating appear to show #JNIM's Sunday attack on fuel tankers in Mali originating from Senegal
