Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM) relies on a set of diversified revenue streams that enable it to maintain its influence and control strategic territories in the face of armed forces and other armed groups.

In this second episode of the series “Radical Islamist Politico-Military Groups in the Sahel,” we explore JNIM’s different sources of financing: hostage ransoms, forced zakat, cattle theft, artisanal gold mining, road tolls, and taxation.

A detailed analysis to better understand how JNIM funds its activities and consolidates its influence across the Sahelian region.
