All the participating sides are fragmenting constantly and the fragments switching sides.
For example from the northern rebels a Timbuktu based, chiefly Tuareg militia seceded, and created the Coalition for the People of Azawad (CPA), which switched sides and now supports the government forces. (I think they were the ones I was writing about when I started to post Mali related stuff).
Or Kouffa always have to deal with little bands leaving his JNIM and joining ISGS.
But there are a bunch of more or less independent fighting force, tribal, clan, or locality based. Their leaders often participate in the state in official positions.
