100 Jihadists Killed in French-Malian Offensive
[AnNahar] A 100 jihadists were killed this month in a joint Franco-Malian offensive in the West African country's lawless center, the Malian army said Tuesday.
They’re probably the Group to Support Islam and Moslems (GSIM), or in Arabic Jamaat Nusrat al-Islam wal-Moslemin (JNIM), the regional Al Qaeda in North Africa affiliate. Organizationally they report to Abdelmalik Droukdel’s group, which once upon a time was the Algerian jihadi group Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat. Whether they still do, since he was killed by the French last June, is an interesting question. The other possibility is that the deaders are AQ in North Africa, which also has bases in Mali, belatedly following Mr. Droukdel to Hell...
"A 100 forces of Evil were neutralized, about 20 captured and several cycle of violences and war equipment were seized" during the operation with La Belle France's Barkhane force, which aims to eradicate jihadists in the Sahel region
... North Africa's answer to the Pak tribal areas...
, the Malian army said on its website.
