In other news… A popular TikTok star, Mariam Cisse, has been abducted and killed by suspected Al-Qaeda-linked jihadists in Mali.
Cisse, believed to be in her 20s, was reportedly seized by armed men while filming a livestream at a local fair in the northern town of Tonka on November 7. She was later taken to Independence Square, where she was executed by members of the extremist group Jama’at Nasr al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM).
The social media influencer, who had over 90,000 followers, was known for sharing videos about life in Tonka and for openly supporting Mali’s military, often wearing army uniforms in her posts.
According to her family, the jihadists accused her of providing information about their movements to the Malian army. A security source described her killing as “barbaric,” while local officials condemned it as an “ignoble act” intended to discourage citizens from showing support for the military.
Her death has sparked outrage across Mali, highlighting the worsening insecurity in the country as the military government struggles to contain the long-running jihadist insurgency.
