U.S. Eyes Strikes in Mali Amid Jihadist Threat | Wilmington News
Description
The U.S. is reportedly eyeing airstrikes against al-Qaeda-linked militants in Mali, where Russia has replaced the U.S. and France as the military backer — only to face stiff resistance from the ultra-radical JNIM group, which seeks to establish an Islamic caliphate in Africa for the first time. With ISIS-linked cells also active nearby, Washington is escalating pressure, possibly to halt Mali’s slide into extremism and to nudge its government back toward American military support. Beyond security, Mali’s vast gold and lithium resources make it a strategic prize — and the stakes are rising as diplomacy appears to be failing.
