>Sahelian warfare is all about rapid mobility. I'm not saying anything groundbreaking but everyone I've read who seems to know anything about the Sahel always talks about that. Probably important.
Ive heard about that. Looking at maps of JNIM/ISIS control in the region, its hard to really understand actual control but that really isnt important since controlling a bunch of empty scrubland doesnt really count for much. What matters is how fast they can move across said scrubland. If you look at photos and videos of the jihadis, they all use motorcyles or pickup trucks. It seems their strategy really isnt to "gain territory" in the usual way but to quickly strike junta forces and then wear them down by out maneuvering them. Also from what I read, a lot of their control isnt overt control such as raising black flags but more subtle such as making deals with local leaders to let them roam freely or taxing towns nominally under government control. its actually kinda strategically genius compared to other jihadis

I wouldnt be surprised when once russia inevitably loses interest in the region or has to redirect their forces for year 3 of the 3 day SMO and the juntas are more weakened that the jihadis launch a big offensive and take multiple major cities like what happened to Assad last year

>hail colonel ngubu as the second coming of che guevara
its mainly african nationalists/BRICS shills larping Traore as the next Sankara. for some reason, replacing french cock with russian cock doesnt cross their mind
