Episode Details

Mali’s security nightmare is escalating as al-Qaida-linked militants and separatist rebels unite in a deadly alliance, launching some of the most devastating attacks on the Malian military in years. With fatalities up 35% in just seven months, analysts warn these groups are strengthening each other’s power by targeting both the Malian army and Russia’s Africa Corps. Rooted in the 2012 Tuareg rebellion, this crisis has fueled a wave of coups across the Sahel — now the deadliest region on Earth for terror violence.

The battlefield is shifting fast — and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
