A months-long siege on the Malian capital, Bamako, by al-Qaeda affiliate group Jamaat Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM) has brought the city to breaking point, causing desperation among residents as authorities struggle to maintain order and restore basic services. The situation is dire, with food and fuel shortages exacerbating the crisis. The JNIM's occupation has sparked international concern, with many fearing the worst for Mali's already fragile security situation.
