Reporting from London, Sophia Badawy follows developments throughout Africa. This week, Badawy followed the Islamic State in Greater Sahara (ISGS) very closely. The group has been actively targeting the In-Delimane (Ansongo) since November 2019. Because of its location, before ISGS, the area was targeted by JNIM. On 14 March, Badawy began collecting on the ISWA/ISGS suicide bombing targeting a French and Malian convoy.
