Blockade imposed by JNIM terrorists limits fuel resupply, despite the presence of FAMa and Russian mercenaries
2026-01-14

Translated Text:

Mali 🇲🇱– Since January 12, the capital Bamako is once again experiencing a fuel shortage that is disrupting economic and social activities.

In many gas stations, customers wait up to half a day to obtain a few liters of fuel, which are essential for daily commutes and activities.

🔷The blockade imposed by JNIM terrorists limits fuel resupply, despite the presence of FAMa and Russian mercenaries from the Africa Corps to secure strategic routes and convoys.

Furthermore, many drivers, designated as targets by the JNIM, have stopped transporting fuel, denouncing the lack of protection and a risk that is too great for their lives. They claim that the military abandons them at the first exchange of fire, leaving them at the mercy of the terrorists, who, if they do not kill them, destroy their means of livelihood.
