A convoy of fuel tankers was attacked by jihadists between Kayes and Diboli, on the vital route linking Mali to Senegal

Translated Text:
« They killed all the drivers » how to survive jihadist terror on Mali's roads?

A Malian driver recounts how he survived an attack.

On January 29, 2026, his convoy of fuel tankers was attacked by jihadists between Kayes and Diboli, on the vital route linking Mali to Senegal.

He survived by hiding under a burning truck.
His colleagues, however, were executed.

👉 12 to 15 drivers killed in this ambush attributed to JNIM.
👉 Dozens of fuel tankers set ablaze on strategic supply roads.

This attack on fuel tankers and truckers illustrates JNIM's strategy in the region: economically strangle Mali by cutting its trade routes between Senegal 🇸🇳 and Côte d’Ivoire 🇨🇮.

The Kayes region, long considered stable, is now becoming a zone of jihadist expansion toward the western Sahel.

🚨In Mali today, transporting fuel has become a high-risk profession.

💬How can Côte d'Ivoire and Senegal limit or counter terrorist expansion at their borders?
