All across Africa, jihadists are expanding their domains via the sword, just as they have done historically, and while the West continues to ignore what is happening. Jihadists are focused on the Sahel region, North Africa in general, the Horn of Africa, and Central Africa. Most attacks are from the Islamic State- and al-Qaeda-linked Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal Muslimeen (JNIM). According to the Global Terrorism Index (GTI), the “Sahel region of Africa is the ‘epicentre of global terrorism,’” and now, for the first time, accounts for “over half of all terrorism-related deaths” in the world. The Mali fuel crisis was already described as “desperate” earlier this month, and it’s specifically due to jihadist conquest, not simply linked to a “militant” group, a favored media euphemism for jihadis.
“US embassy urges Americans to leave Mali due to a fuel crisis linked to a militant group,” Associated Press, October 28, 2025:
BAMAKO, Mali (AP) — The U.S. Embassy in Mali told American citizens Tuesday to leave the country by plane because of the threats of terrorism and a severe fuel crisis stemming from a jihadi group’s blockade of fuel tankers entering the landlocked West African nation.
“U.S. citizens should depart using commercial aviation, as overland routes to neighboring countries may not be safe for travel due to terrorist attacks along national highways,” the U.S. Embassy in Bamako said on its website.
It was the embassy’s second alert in three days after an Oct. 25 advisory for U.S. citizens not to travel to Mali due to “crime, terrorism, kidnapping” and other reasons.
The al-Qaida-linked Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin group, or JNIM, announced in September that it was imposing a blockade on tanker trucks entering Mali as part of its fight against the country’s military authorities. The group’s fighters have set more than 100 trucks on fire, paralyzing the country’s fuel supply.
The government has announced the closure of schools and universities nationwide because of the disruptions to travel caused by the fuel shortage.

There appears to be nothing the U.N. or our Western Governments can do or are willing to do to stop these Islamic/Muslim attacks of others.
Every village, city and state that Islam gains control over is a victory in their goal to control the world. The sad part is the non Muslim countries are supplying the weapons and raking in the profits. The migration invasion of the west will lead to the same result you see in Mali, Nigeria and many other countries. If we don”t stop the spread of Political Islam the result for us will be way worse than any COVID disease.
