 Malian army withdraws from key Tessalit military camp: sources


Mali’s army and its Russian mercenary allies have surrendered Camp Tessalit, a strategic military post in the north, multiple sources told the AFP news agency on Friday.


An official from the Tuareg-led separatist group claimed soldiers and mercenaries at the camp had "surrendered", following a fierce fight over the weekend.


Simultaneous attacks in Mali by militants linked to Al Qaeda and separatist Tuareg rebels on April 25 showed how fighters ​from different groups with different goals were able to strike at the heart of the West African country's military government.


Gunfire and explosions were reported in the capital Bamako and around a large military base outside the capital, as well as Gao and central areas, as gunfire continuing in the northern city of Kidal.


Defence minister Sadio Camara was killed at his residence in Kati, a garrison town near the capital, Bamako, following the fierce weekend fighting.


UN Secretary‑General António Guterres said in a statement issued Saturday night that he was “deeply concerned” over attacks across Mali.


In the light of this weekend’s attacks in Mali, the UN chief called for more “coordinated international support to address the evolving threat of violent extremism and terrorism in the Sahel,” and for urgent humanitarian needs to be better addressed.


“He reiterates his call for robust security coordination and collaboration across the region,” the statement concluded.
