It has been three weeks since Malian religious leader Thierno Amadou Hady Tall was kidnapped near Nioro du Sahel, in southern Mali, on the border with Mauritania. Jnim, the Support Group for Islam and Muslims, not only claimed responsibility for his kidnapping, but also announced his death last Sunday, January 12. A death that those close to Thierno Amadou Hady Tall do not take for granted. In any case, this Jnim attack against a very respected and very influential Malian religious leader is unprecedented and testifies to a strategic evolution.
