Activities:

Mohamed Ben Ahmed Mahri has funded terrorist armed groups through his drug trafficking, notably Al-Murabitun, which merged with other terrorist groups to form Jama’at Nasr al-Islam wal Muslimin (JNIM), with control over routes that cross northern Mali from Mauritania, Burkina Faso, and Niger.

Ben Ahmed Mahri uses convoys led by Ahmoudou Ag Asriw to traffic drugs. These trafficking convoys frequently generate clashes with competitors associated with other armed groups.
