Mali was rocked by a massive, coordinated assault last weekend — and according to investigative journalist David Hundeyin, it wasn’t just terrorism, but one of the biggest ever attempted coups. He explains how rival “suspiciously well-armed and well-resourced” groups, united for a sophisticated operation aimed at “decapitating the Malian government,” pointing to clear hallmarks of a foreign-backed destabilization campaign. As Mali and the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) fight to assert their sovereignty, Hundeyin warns that this attack represents a dangerous new phase of escalation. #breakthroughnews
