Mali puts bounty on jihadist commander Jouleybib de Nampala

Malian authorities have placed a bounty on the head of jihadist commander Jouleybib de Nampala, whose real name is Abdoulaye Mamoudou Bakaye Diallo. The wanted notice, now circulating across the country, identifies him as a senior figure within the Support Group for Islam and Muslims (JNIM), the main jihadist alliance operating in the Sahel. Bamako’s decision to publicly call for his capture signals ongoing efforts to dismantle militant networks that have waged a decade-long insurgency in the region.
