Malian authorities are reinforcing security nationwide as non-state armed groups intensify their attacks, some occurring alarmingly close to the capital, Bamako.

Over the past weeks, a wave of coordinated strikes against military outposts in central and northern Mali has sparked growing fear among civilians. The proximity of these attacks to urban centers has raised concerns about the country’s ability to contain the threat.

In response, the government has announced tightened surveillance, increased troop deployment, and enhanced coordination among security agencies.

These efforts are part of a broader push to restore stability amid persistent insecurity across the central Sahel.
