Violence in Mali has escalated, with attacks by armed groups spreading to regions once considered safe.

Recent attacks, including the abduction of Indian nationals, have raised concerns for the safety of foreigners. The military government, led by Assimi Goita, has strengthened its hold on power by dissolving political parties and extending Goita’s term without elections.
