Gonna leave these links 123 here for now, about the SOCOM operators who were killed in Mali last April. Imagine this may become relevant to the story at some point, but not sure where it fits in yet.
Reports say that the AU has given it's members a week to send in troops, but i'm wondering, are there other countries that aren't listed in the belligerents section that are going to be sending troops? Because I've been looking up stories all over the internet and can't find one to add to the list. If there are, could you tell me which ones will, and the links to the stories that concern the countries' sending of troops?

The mali war map should be changed.It should include some positions that have been visually captured by JNIM in the south and centre of the country, but it should also include contested territory, or a no man's land, as neither FAMa or the militants have a real grip on certain communities that are out of their reach.
In some cases, it has been noted that certain communities directly negociate with JNIM, without the central government. There should probably be a contested road between gao and anefis, as certain elements of FAMa and the Africa Corps did manage to reach the town, but they do not have full control of the road between these two towns, having been ambushed many times.
For example, I think the wiki map for the Anglophone Crisis in Cameroon would work best here, as it would showcase the ground situation a bit better, since the borders keep fluctuating and militants have a habit of holding onto towns only for a couple of days. In any case, this kind of map would also work for the wider sahel war, for example, islamist militants from IS have been noted to take some positions along the Niger-Nigeria border, expanding the conflict to other places, not just the densely populated western part of Niger Demeseriecroitor (talk) 08:19, 13 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
Nevermind, according to Al-Jazeera Anéfis has been recently retaken by FAMa forces but fighting is ongoing. I think it should be displayed as disputed like Gao is on the current map. Djehuty98 (talk) 17:17, 17 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
