Mali: la ville-clef de Kidal sous le contrôle des rebelles touareg (sources proche du gouverneur et locales)
The key city of Kidal, in northern Mali, is now under the control of Tuareg separatist rebels and jihadist groups, after their series of coordinated attacks against strategic positions of the junta, a close associate of the local governor and local sources confirmed to AFP.
"We have left Kidal. We are no longer there. It is the jihadists and the FLA (Azawad Liberation Front) who are in Kidal," a source close to the governor told AFP on Monday. Residents also confirmed to AFP that they had seen the Malian army and Russian mercenaries leaving the city. These statements come after the FLA rebels claimed "total" control of the city.
On Sunday, the army chief of staff announced a "readaptation" and a "repositioning" of the military deployment in the locality of Anéfis, located 100 kilometers from the city of Kidal, during a statement on the public channel ORTM.
