Mali faces jihadism, Al-Charaa in the White House, B.Sansal released and tributes from November 13


In Mali, JNIM’s developments and its blockade around Bamako raised concerns about its possible advance to power. In Washington this week, Syria’s interim President, Al-Charaa, continued his diplomatic rehabilitation operation. In Algeria, Boualem Sansal was pardoned. Germany played a major role in this outcome. Finally, in France, the November 13 anniversary reignited emotions as authorities warned of the continued high terrorist threat.
