Jama'at Nusrat Al-Islam Wal-Muslimin (JNIM) is a Mali-based violent extremist group formed in March 2017, through the merging of four Al Qaida-aligned groups: Ansar Dine, the Front de Liberation du Macina, Al Qaida in the Islamic Mahgreb (AQIM)'s Sahara branch, and Al-Murabitoun. The group's main goals have been to implement Sharia law across the Sahara region and expel foreign influence. JNIM is an official affiliate of Al Qaida in Mali and mainly targets regional, French, and United Nations forces. It also targets locations frequented by foreigners, including hotels and restaurants, and holds foreigners hostage for ransom. JNIM's tactics include improvised explosive devices (IED), vehicle-borne IEDs, suicide bombings, rocket and mortar attacks, and complex small arms attacks. In November 2018, JNIM claimed a suicide attack against a UN base in Gao, and specifically identified Canadian, British, and German forces as being among the "Crusader invader forces." In a second statement, JNIM identified the United Nations Mine Action Service as its intended target. JNIM is also suspected of carrying out an August 2017 attack on a restaurant in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, in which two Canadians were among at least 19 people killed. In August 2024, JNIM attacked hundreds of civilians near the town of Barsalogho, Burkina Faso, killing at least 133 people, including dozens of children, and injuring at least 200 more. JNIM claimed responsibility for the attack, and videos filmed by JNIM show militants shooting at unarmed people.

Foreign designating authority (English): UNSC

Jama'a Nusrat ul-Islam wa al-Muslimin (JNIM) was created on 2 March 2017, as announced by its leader Iyad Ag Ghali (QDi.316) in a speech broadcasted by the media agency Al Zalaqa. JNIM has described itself as the official branch of Al-Qaida (QDe.004) in Mali and is an alliance of elements of the Organization of Al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) (QDe.014) in the Sahel, Ansar Eddine (QDe.135), Al-Mourabitoun (QDe.141) and others. It is structured in several operational zones located in Northern Mali. JNIM carried out numerous attacks against the Malian Defense and Security forces, the Joint Force of the Group of Five for the Sahel, the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission (MINUSMA) and the French forces, which were claimed by the media agency Al Zalaqa. The organization also conducted an armed operation against the tourist resort “Le Campement Kangaba” near Bamako in June 2017. JNIM claimed responsibility for the attack of 21 February 2018 in Mali, which resulted in the death of two French soldiers. The group also claimed the two simultaneous attacks against the French Embassy and the General Staff of the Burkinabe armed forces in Ouagadougou on 2 March 2018, and the attack against the Headquarters of the Joint Force of the Group of Five for the Sahel in Sevare on 29 June 2018. The multiplicity of attacks carried out by JNIM threatens the peace process in Mali. Its leader Iyad ag Ghali (QDi.316) has openly pledged allegiance to Aiman Muhammed Rabi al-Zawahiri (QDi.006), the Al-Qaida leader, Abdelmalek Droukdel (QDi.232), the AQIM leader, and the leader of the Taliban.
