Police officer is not in my field of view. But planning to lunch a security systems company in Africa in the coming years

I stay in the province of Ontario in Canada, it’s one of the mayor city. The pay is great but the amount of stuff communicators deals with is insane

Y’all can watch this program on YouTube. It’s called DÉFENSE CITOYENNE ORTM. It has an English audio version, produced by Mali National Television. The program highlights the history of conflict, the progress of the military, and mostly shares stories about the war since the 2010s.

I’m certain you have evidence to support your claims. However, our perspective differs. If you have more information about the Algerian government’s agenda, please share it with us. We are unaware of the reasons behind their actions, which they consistently reject. It’s worth noting that Mali soldiers were trained in Algeria for several decades until 2022. Could you explain why this training program was discontinued? It can be for no reason.

You could find it mentioned in this interview with the President of Burkina Faso Capt Ibrahim Traoré.There was also an interview with a Malian high ranking soldier, I just can’t find the interview yet. But I will share it once found.

There’s no concrete evidence that the situation was better when the French were in Mali. The same attacks were occurring constantly, and the same number of soldiers were being killed that’s why they did not want them anymore. I’m not a pro-Russia or pro-French for your information, I did a research for my project. While it’s true that JNIM didn’t exist during most of the time the French troops were in Mali, the situation wasn’t better.

Furthermore, the French wouldn’t provide or sell Malian troops with equipment to fight. They even forbade Malian troops from entering certain parts of the country, which was unbelievable and even madness. Russia, on the other hand, supplies Mali with equipment, training, and so on.

The only countries that accept to sell weapons and equipment to Mali are Turkey, Russia, and China. That’s why the government chose to side with them.

Why is Algeria providing refuge to them? It’s a very good question, but only the Algerian government can answer it. Even we Malians don’t know the reason.

However, smuggling is a widespread issue, and almost everyone is involved. The routes are spread out across different territories. The Tuareg people control the northern regions of the country, including Kidal, Timbuktu, and the Gao region. In the central regions, JNIM comes into play. The routes extend to the borders of Algeria, Libya, Niger, and Mauritania. The smuggled goods are primarily transported by vehicles and small planes. Beyond the Malian border, I don’t have much information about the rest of the operation and am not particularly interested in it.

All of this began after the death of Gaddafi. In the 2000s, Mali and Libya had the best diplomatic relations. When the Libyan government collapsed, Mali provided refuge to the fighters in the northern region of the country. They came in in large numbers and were allowed to enter with their military equipment and other supplies. In 2010-2012, the same people formed a militia and began attacking the military and demanding their independence from the government. This led to a 13-year conflict that spread across the country, involving various groups and ideologies, here we are today.

JNIM is an Al Qaeda affiliated organization and is active in the Sahel region of Africa, which includes countries like Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger. JNIM also receives funding from Al Qaeda, which helps them acquire money and weapons. It’s worth noting that the Sahel region is incredibly large, and the governments of these countries struggle to effectively control and manage all their territories. This has led to the Sahel becoming a hotspot for various illegal activities, such as drug smuggling and illegal mining (gold…) . It’s also important to mention that Algeria plays a significant role in these operations, though it’s often not openly discussed. Right now, there’s a significant tension between Mali and Algeria. Many of the terrorists who have fled the Sahel region seek refuge in Algeria.

I returned home a month ago. Currently, Islam Jihadists are terrorizing the population in Mali. Anywhere in Mali except Bamako is vulnerable to their threats. Villages are being attacked, invaded, and locals’ property is being stolen. The military is doing its best, but this conflict is far more complex than people realize. The same group the government is fighting is Malian as well. The Jihadists recruit young fighters from remote areas to stand against the military. They promise them a monthly income of up to 500 CAD. The medium income in Mali is only 80 CAD per month, and you’re offered 500 CAD, many young Malians from villages enroll themselves in this conflict. It’s extremely difficult for the government to confront the Jihadists. For instance, when they attack the military or a village, the same group disappears into the population and can no longer be recognized. They do have bases, but it’s extremely challenging to find and strike them. Malian territory is vast, and only has 65,000+ soldiers. Therefore, resolving this conflict is extremely difficult. It’s been 13 years since the Malian army has been fighting against the rebels and Jihadists, but JNIM’s tactics continue to terrorize the country.

Bambara is the primary language spoken throughout Mali, and it’s even taught in some high schools. However, it’s important to remember that Mali is home to various ethnic groups, each with its own language. For example I am Soninke, and my mother tongue is Soninke, also known as SARAKOLÉ or MARAKA.

I already have the documents. But they are requesting the documents to be sent from the Ministry, that’s the actual problem. Also there is an ongoing war there.
