 Malian government rejects US role in anti-JNIM fight The Malian government has rejected reports of US intervention in the fight against the jihadist group JNIM, saying the claims are false. At a news conference in Bamako, Mali's Foreign Minister Abdoulaye Diop responded to reports that the Trump administration is considering military action in the country. The Washington Post reported Wednesday, citing current and former U.S. officials, that the administration is weighing possible action against JNIM, Al-Qaeda's affiliate in Mali. Diop said Mali only heard about the news of potential U.S. military action from press reports. “We have no confirmation and no official statement from the United States or U.S. officials on this matter,” he said, Africanews reported “I can assure you that Mali is not sitting idly by, waiting for others to come and solve our problem.”
