**Rebel groups, primarily the Azawad Liberation Front (FLA) Tuareg separatists allied with JNIM, have conducted ambushes and limited offensives in the Gao region but show no credible path to seizing the city itself by year-end.** Recent July 2026 attacks targeted convoys and positions near Anefis and Gao, inflicting losses on Malian forces and Russian Africa Corps partners before government counteroperations retook ground, including Anefis. The junta maintains control of Gao proper while rebels operate in surrounding desert and rural zones, prioritizing hit-and-run tactics, territorial pressure in the north, and prisoner exchanges over sustained urban assaults. With only months remaining and no major rebel advances reported since mid-summer, trader consensus reflects the barriers posed by fortified government positions, air support, and the rebels’ current operational focus.
