Mali: Dismantling Terrorist Logistics Networks

Last week, in the North, particularly around Timbuktu, the Malian Armed Forces (FAMa) carried out several operations in the localities of Serere and Ber, where a terrorist was intercepted and neutralized, and vehicles transporting fuel were seized.

Fuel is a vital resource for fighter mobility, motorized attacks, and the manufacture of explosives. This action aims to disrupt the supply chains of armed terrorist groups (GAT) and limit their operational capacity.

Moreover, the attack on an advanced operational post in Didiéni in the Koulikoro region highlights the persistent threat in the southern part of the country, despite the efforts undertaken.

Overall, these operations demonstrate the armed forces’ determination to target key components of terrorist logistics to durably weaken terrorist groups, even though the security risk remains high due to their ability to adapt.
