Mali Under Siege: Al-Qaida-Linked Group & Tuareg Separatists Launch Coordinated Attacks
Militants from JNIM and Tuareg separatists from the Azawad Liberation Front launched a major assault across Mali, targeting Bamakos international airport, military barracks, and cities up north and central. The attack resulted in sixteen wounded, including civilians and soldiers, with several attackers killed. The Malian army responded swiftly, regaining control by evening. Residents experienced chaos, with blasts and gunfire reported. The U.S. Embassy advised Americans to shelter in place, and a three-day curfew was imposed. Separatists claimed control of parts of Kidal and Gao. This is the largest joint push in years, echoing the 2012 rebel takeover of the north. Mali continues to face al-Qaida and Islamic State affiliates and the push for an independent north, similar to neighboring countries.
