Le Monde: Starlink satellite kits being used by jihadists in Sahel

French publication Le Monde is reporting that groups such as JNIM and ISWA, are "exploiting the portable, high-speed connectivity [of Starlink] to enhance their operations."  Starlink kits have become part of the equipment used by jihadist and rebel groups, from Chad to Mali and have even appeared in a video released by the Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM), an Al-Qaeda affiliate, during an operation in the Gao region of eastern Mali against the Islamic State in West Africa (ISWA), according to Le Monde. Unlike traditional land-based communications infrastructure, which covers only 37% of Africa, Starlink boasts nearly complete internet coverage.
