Al Qaeda affiliate JNIM seizes power in Mali — what does this mean for Africa?
A group linked to the Al Qaeda Islamist network is closing in on the capital of Mali, in north-west Africa.
This group, known as JNIM, now controls swathes of territory in the Sahel, a region that stretches across several countries in the Sahara.
If JNIM takes the capital, Bamako, it would be the first time an Al Qaeda affiliate has seized power in a country.
What would that mean for Africa and the Islamic world?
