Snippet:
"Unite against the terrorist junta." That rare French-language appeal, attributed to Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM) following its April 2026 offensive across Mali, was more than propaganda. It was an operational communique: a call to see Mali's military regime not as the "shield" of the republic, but as the target of the "revolution".
