other political engagements are important too, facilitation of Fiqh modernizers and alternate Salafi trends, ties with Turkiye and Iran, unity of Ecowas with the Sahel governments
I agree that they're important, but I don't believe that they're as important as the points that I enumerated.
Radical socio-cultural trends have been proliferating through Muslim-majority societies for decades so that's nothing new.
As for ties with Turkiye, it's one of Mali's partners, but nowhere near as significant as Russia is. As far as I'm aware, Iran is a non-factor in this conflict.
Regarding ECOWAS, Mali pulled out of it a year or so ago, and it never played any meaningful on-the-ground role in terms of influencing the conflict's dynamics.
Iran may be a non-factor, but it's basically the same cause: the whole world needs to free itself of western terrorism. The more fingers they point, the more point back. I think most of the world understands who the leading terrorists are in all of this. The west's decline can't come fast enough.
Mali needs, with RU help, to quickly train a good number of drone pilots and purchase them from China. they can also. The are is vast and open, with proper survelance they can slowly drive them away and establish mobile bases. RU can also help talk with Algeria to cooperate.
The Tuareg have ties to ISIS and Al-Qaeda, yes? That means the CIA is one of their ultimate sponsors. The other one is undoubtedly France. If Algeria is still backing them, I'm not sure how that serves their interests.

I could easily be missing something.
