| Nioro du Sahel in Mail under siege |
| 2026-02-08 |
Translated Text: Nioro du Sahel under siege The population of Nioro du Sahel continues to send out distress calls. For more than two weeks, the town has been encircled by armed groups, in particular JNIM, plunging the inhabitants into a critical situation. While the people are demanding urgent help and calling on the military authorities based in Bamako to intervene, the latter appear to remain passive, preferring to feed public opinion with diversionary speeches, even going so far as to mention unrealistic projects such as bringing the sea from Senegal to Mali. Yet what the population is asking for is clear: liberate the occupied areas so that they can live in peace, and not the importation of foreign armies or announcements with no real impact on their security. This communication is perceived as an insult by those who know the reality on the ground. Courage to the people of Nioro du Sahel, abandoned yet still dignified, who continue to suffer in silence.
