Mali enhances security measures following recent terrorist attacks --[Reported by Umva mag]

The governor of Bamako has ordered the closure of livestock markets in several communes of the capital as part of these enhanced security protocols. Additionally, the Minister of Transport and Infrastructure has instructed vehicle owners to remove their parked vehicles from roadways within 48 hours. Failure to comply will result in penalties.

These decisions, which took effect on Thursday, September 19, 2024, come just two days after the deadly terrorist attacks perpetrated by the GSIM (Groupe de Soutien à l’Islam et aux Musulmans). The jihadist group targeted the Faladié gendarmerie school and Modibo Keita-Sénou international airport.

The Malian government has expressed deep sorrow over the tragic loss of lives during these attacks. The Sahel branch of Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb has claimed responsibility, asserting that hundreds of people, including members of the Malian armed forces and the Wagner group, were killed, and aircraft were destroyed.
