Mali Under Siege: Coordinated Attacks Trigger Curfew in Bamako

Mali has imposed a 72-hour curfew in the capital, Bamako, after a wave of coordinated attacks on military targets across the country.

Fighting has been reported in several مناطق, including Kati—home to the country’s military leadership. Armed groups linked to Al-Qaeda and Tuareg fighters launched near-simultaneous assaults, signaling a dangerous escalation.

In Sevare, gunfire erupted near a base used by Russian-backed Africa Corps forces. Meanwhile, in the north, fighters claimed control in Gao and Kidal.

Some of these fighters are linked to Jama’at Nasr al-Islam wal Muslimin, an Al-Qaeda-affiliated group. What’s striking is that Tuareg rebels and jihadist fighters—often rivals—now appear to be working together against Mali’s army.

Despite government claims that the situation is under control, fear is growing. Reports suggest civilians are taking security into their own hands, raising concerns about further violence.

Mali’s military, already stretched thin, faces threats from multiple armed groups, including affiliates of Islamic State.

As instability deepens, the question remains: how far will this conflict spread?
