JNIM militants firing at a damaged Malian Army vehicle destroyed by an IED between Ke-Macina and Markala in central Mali

🇲🇱 #Mali: Footage shows JNIM militants firing at a damaged Malian Army vehicle after it was destroyed by an IED between Ke-Macina and Markala in central Mali.

These kinds of attacks come as the group faces a turning point in its structure: JNIM leader Saa’d pledged allegiance to Islamic State in Sahel and defected. He was responsible for an area in eastern Burkina Faso and reportedly joined IS with a number of his men, marking one of the largest mass defections from JNIM to IS-Sahel in years.
