Text: Today’s massive Al-Qaeda (JNIM) offensive in Mali shows that Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso and northern Nigeria are all in danger of falling under total control of jihadist control. However, Sudan is another nearby state which could also become fully controlled by Islamists, and some sense is already very far down that path. This map below shows the states where Islamist have had partial control of the state, been close to taking control of the state through civil war or where they currently control large swaths of territory. The Muslim Brotherhood has had a very strong grip on Sudan for decades, and the islamist fighters they provide for General Al-Burhan and the Sudanese Armed Forces in the civil war only strengthen their hand in that country. Following the Arab Spring, Muslim Brotherhood-controlled parties came to power in Egypt and Tunisia, but were quickly outmanoeuvred by the military and other autocratic forces respectively. As already mentioned, Al-Qaeda or ISIS-aligned forces are on the verge of taking control of large parts of the junta-led states Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso which have created the anti-Western and pro-Russin military pact called “Alliance of Sahel States” (AES).
