Lack of Media Coverage of Jihadist Expansion in Africa

• The lack of media coverage concerning the Jihadist takeover in Africa is primarily due to the absence of American, British, or French casualties.
• JNIM's control over vast territories in Burkina Faso, approximately 40% as of late last year, allows for its survival and expansion, echoing the safe haven concerns raised in the 9/11 report.
• This territorial control enables JNIM to exert pressure on various localities and expand its reach further south, signifying a real-time jihadist takeover of Africa largely overlooked by international media.
