JNIM's fuel blockade on Bamako is holding into its third month, with tanker convoys from Senegal and Côte d'Ivoire moving only under military escort and more than 300 tankers destroyed since the campaign began, per Bellingcat, ACLED and RFI. The junta leans on Russia's Africa Corps and Turkish drones, which have not broken the siege of a landlocked country that imports roughly 95% of its fuel by road.READ ▸ A capital that cannot fuel itself is a governance clock running down.
