"Al-Bambari or Nabi Diarra also specifically warned Malian civilians from creating local armed militias telling them that if they want to fight JNIM they should join the Malian army instead the reason for this is because similar to JNIM strategy in Burkina Faso and IS in Niger and Nigeria if a village starts mobilizing and taking arms then the whole village would be considered 'hostile' and all fighting age males in that village will be legitimate targets this is why Abu Hudheifah tells civilians to join the army instead of creating militias in a way to preserve their village"
