Hey SnapScopeers! 🔥 Did you know cars and trucks are being BURNED to block roads? This is happening in Mali near Bamako (the capital city) right now!

Jihadist group JNIM (connected to al-Qaeda) has set fire to dozens of vehicles including fuel tankers, minibuses and trucks. They're doing this to stop fuel from reaching the city and hurt the government. Why? To make the economy suffer and weaken leaders! 😱

This is especially bad because next week is Eid al-Adha - the BIG Muslim holiday where families usually buy animals to slaughter. But now:
- Prices for potatoes jumped from 350 → 500 francs ($0.62 → $0.90)
- People can't get animals to slaughter
- Traveling is dangerous for Eid trips
- Basic goods are super expensive

The government is fighting back by using Russian mercenaries (Africa Corp) to escort fuel convoys. Even helicopters are protecting the trucks! 🚁

But here's the twist: JNIM has kidnapped drivers and burned OVER 100 fuel trucks since last year. Now they're even more aggressive after attacking Bamako last month.

💡 Challenge: If YOU were in Mali, would you buy a bull instead of a sheep for Eid? Share your ideas below!
