π²π± Reuters: Al-Qaeda-linked militant group JNIM, which now controls large swaths of Mali following its sweeping April offensive that struck Bamakoβs airport and killed the defence minister, is increasingly moderating its behavior in areas under its control, distributing food, settling land disputes, and permitting some aid operations.
Residents describe governance that has become more predictable and less overtly violent, though the group remains capable of mass atrocities and has used blockades causing civilian deaths by starvation.
Experts say JNIM is seeking political legitimacy as it consolidates control, while Maliβs military government firmly rejects any negotiations with the group.
