Iyad Ag Ghaly
Iyad Ag Ghaly is a veteran Tuareg militant and the leader of Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM), a coalition of jihadist factions that has gained significant control in Mali and the broader Sahel region. Known for his strategic acumen, Ag Ghaly has effectively blended al-Qaeda's transnational ideology with local grievances, establishing a shadow governance system that has gained acceptance among some rural communities. Under his leadership, JNIM has successfully implemented a strategy of 'winning by embedding,' integrating into local social structures while providing security and mediation in disputes. His organization is now a key player in the evolving conflict in Mali, which faces the threat of becoming a fully jihadist-controlled state.
