CRISIS - Fallout in the Sahel
Breaking news has shaken the international community—reports confirm that a powerful insurgent coalition in the Sahel, long linked with extremist groups like JNIM and ISIS-Sahel, has released a broadcast claiming it now possesses a small but functional nuclear arsenal. Intelligence leaks suggest that this arsenal was indirectly acquired through covert funding and logistical support funneled by Russian and Chinese backchannels, allegedly to strengthen their influence in Africa and secure access to vital mineral and uranium resources in the region. The insurgents have declared that if any international military action is taken against them, they will not hesitate to deploy nuclear devices against both local capitals and foreign bases in the Sahel. This revelation has sparked outrage within the UNSC, with accusations flying at Moscow and Beijing for fueling instability while hiding behind diplomatic rhetoric.
