JNIM/FLA outlets claim they successfully broke out numerous prisoners from Kéniéroba's prison. The attached video shows the prison in the early hours of the morning from the point of view of a JNIM fighter. One thing to learn here is to never trust the junta's words. It should be noted that the Africa Corps is doing a "counter propaganda" by releasing as much footage as possible showing dead JNIM militants just like it did in the April 25 offensive. That doesn't mean anything if you are loosing towns one by one, and it should be noted that for JNIM/FLA those losses are expected and normal, they spent weeks preparing for it so they already recruited more than they will loose. They will claim that everything is under control and the attacks repelled just to see them withdrawing in humiliation and a map showcasing loss of territory in the upcoming days. @Conflict_Monitor

🏳️🏳️😞🇲🇱🇷🇺— Intense clashes are still on going in Anéfis and other towns While JNIM claimed to have seized Konna.The junta's outlets claim the attack on Kéniéroba's prison center in Gao was repelled.

⬛❌🇨🇩—17 Congolese soldiers killed and 20 wounded in clashes with ISCAP militants in the Haute-Uele province in the east of the country On Wednesday, July 1, 2026, ISCAP militants ambushed a Congolese army foot patrol heading towards the village of Mungueré, where the militants were based, resulting in fierce clashes involving various machine guns and RPGs. This resulted in the death of 13 soldiers and injuries to 20 others. The militants seized 9 rifles, 3 PKM machine guns, and 2 RPG launchers. On Thursday morning, ISCAP militants attacked a Congolese army barracks near the village of Butongi, killing 4 soldiers and forcing the rest to flee.

Oh wait there's no need to, they already have Bay'ah to the Taliban so its the same thing. @Conflict_Monitor

🇺🇸🔴🇸🇴❌⬛— The U.S. says it will end support for the African Union peacekeeping mission in Somalia when its mandate expires in December 2026, citing Somalia’s failure to make enough progress against Al-Shabaab and take over security responsibilities. That doesn't mean the U.S. support for the Somali "Danab" special force against Al-Shabaab in the south, nor Puntland Forces against IS-Somal in the north will stop. @Conflict_Monitor
