A coalition of armed groups and rebels is mounting a significant challenge to the authority of Mali's military government, raising questions about the regime's control over the country.
The alliance, comprising various factions, has intensified operations in recent weeks, signaling a potential shift in the balance of power. Analysts suggest that the junta, which seized power in a 2020 coup, faces growing instability as it struggles to contain the insurgency.
While the government has downplayed the threat, observers note that the rebels' coordinated actions indicate a well-organized effort to undermine the state's authority. The situation remains fluid, with both sides vying for strategic advantages.
