On November 2, ISIS official news agency, Amaq, released photos documenting a recent large-scale attack by the group’s branch in Mali, the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara (ISGS), on al-Qaeda-affiliated Jama’at Nasr al-Islam wal Muslimin (JNIM).
The attack, which took place on August 29, targeted position of JNIM near the town of Ighzrane in the northeastern Malian region of Menaka. Amaq said that the attack was carried out in response to recent massacre of ISIS supporters near Ighzrane by JNIM forces.
Amaq alleged that 40 fighters of JNIM were killed in the large-scale attack on Ighzrane. However, the photos released by the agency showed 34 dead bodies only.
In the course of the attack, ISGS fighters seized loads of weapons and nine vehicles. Five other vehicles were allegedly destroyed.

The ISGS has been battling with JNIM in Menaka for a long while. Much of the region is currently under the de-facto control of the two terrorist group. The Movement for the Salvation of Azawad, an ethnic Touareg rebel group, has been also active in the region, mainly against the ISGS.
A recent report by the Human Rights Watch accused the ISGS and other ISIS-affiliated groups of massacring hundreds of people in northeast Mali and displacing tens of thousands from the region this year.
The recent withdrawal of French forces from Mali didn’t have any impact on the situation in the country. Malian government forces continue to battle terrorist groups, including ISGS and JNIM, with support from the United Nations’ mission and Russian private military contractors.
Mmmmm…. I see that both groups, ISIS and Al Qaeda have CIA / Toyota, trucks….
That is because Japan is a member of NATO and if someone tries to track who bought all the new Toyota pickups – it will be a dead end – no information will be handed over.
40 is far too few Islamists and Muslims killed.
There are hundreds of thousands in the refugee camps, so that is where the killing must take place if an acceptable daily rate is to be achieved.
There have already been attacks on refugee camps both in Syria and several countries in Africa.
That is crazy how openly the US/NATO supports Wahhabis. During the Trump era, the US left Africa, and somehow ISIL/Al-Qaeda/Wahhabis fuk off too with them.
This is the work of France/NATO in Mail, check it for yourself. The Mail government mentioned how France works with ISIL and looting the country. Now, why would France’s military be in Mail? Oh, they think they own them and France is poor as shit that they also have to steal from Africa.
ISIL came back a week later in Somalia after the US re-entered the country. The US also working 24/7 to send Wahhabis to Ethiopia and BTW there have been a lot of “White” people on YT talking Ethiopia war and how they are losing…hmmm these nobodies show up after the US clearly drop their support behind the terrorist groups in Ethiopia.
Western proxy armies fighting each other. Whodathoughtit? The west want to destroy Africa before the Chinese and Russian’s really get to know the place. Certain western govt’s and rich families have long thought that Africa was theirs.
Ain’t it great how two African/ME acronym fighting groups have killed each other…. no mention of the Anglo American wankers who funded it
