Organization:notes | Emerging in January 2015, Front de Libération du Macina (FLM) is a Mali-based Islamist extremist group. A constituent of Jama'at Nusrat Al-Islam Wal-Muslimin (JNIM), FLM has targeted Malian and international security forces, civilians (including Westerners, teachers, imams, and local officials), and those it perceives as not adhering to its interpretation of Islam. The group's main objective has been to liberate the Fulani, mainly Muslim people scattered across 21 different African countries, from Malian government "oppression." On November 20, 2015, militants from various groups including FLM carried out a gun attack at the Radisson Blu hotel in Bamako, killing over 20 people. More than 170 people were taken hostage during the siege, including three Canadians. Between June 18 and 19, 2022, FLM militants attacked three villages in central Mali—Diallassagou, Dianweli, and Deguessagou—killing at least 132 civilians and setting fire to many buildings. JNIM claimed responsibility for the attack, and the Malian government specifically accuses FLM. On February 12, 2025, militants killed 16 people and wounded several in the Ségou area of Mali for their refusal to follow Islamic law as dictated by FLM, and local sources attribute the attack to the FLM. | ca_listed_terrorists | ca-lte-580-front-de-liberation-du-macina | ||||
