* Malian government forces and their Russian mercenary allies lost a strategic northern military stronghold to rebels.
* Tuareg separatists and Al-Qaeda-linked jihadists appear to be coordinating their efforts against the ruling military junta.
* Insurgent groups have publicly called for a popular uprising against the government and the implementation of Sharia law.
Not clear to me if Tuareg separatists are still separatists or want to be part of a JNIM-controlled Mali with some sort of autonomy?
Anyone know how this could affect Burkina Faso’s regime? They’re in the same boat.
