Mali's Big Win: Why the World Can't Believe It

Thu, 06 Nov 2025 21:02:24 +0100

Mali fuel crisis 2025: How Mali survived the JNIM blockade when Western analysts predicted collapse. Russia's emergency fuel deal broke al-Qaeda's economic siege of Bamako, proving Africa can resist traditional pressure tactics and find alternative partnerships.

In September 2025, the al-Qaeda-affiliated group JNIM imposed a devastating fuel blockade on Mali, cutting off all supplies to the capital Bamako. With fuel prices skyrocketing 500% and schools closing nationwide, Western embassies ordered evacuations and analysts predicted the government would fall within weeks. But Mali's military government made an unexpected move that changed everything.

🔍 WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER:
- How JNIM's economic warfare strategy nearly worked
- The Russia-Mali fuel deal that nobody saw coming
- Why Western media ignored this developing crisis
- What this means for the Alliance of Sahel States (Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger)
- The geopolitical shift happening across West Africa
- Why traditional counter-insurgency playbooks are failing in the Sahel

This is the story of resilience the mainstream media didn't want to cover. Mali's survival against JNIM's blockade represents a turning point in African sovereignty and the changing dynamics of global partnerships.
