🇲🇱 An offensive by Tuareg-Rebels on another military bases in Mali

Fresh fighting broke out between Mali's army and northern Tuareg rebels on Sunday, with the rebels claiming to have taken control of two army bases in the central town of Lere.

The rebel alliance, called the Coordination of Azawad Movements (CMA), has been fighting the army since August.

"CMA took control of the two camps in Lere," said CMA spokesman. Mali's armed forces said late on Sunday that an attack had taken place in Lere and that a response was under way.

A Chinese-made Norinco VP11 MRAP of FAMa was among the vehicles destroyed by the so-called Azawad militants during the seizure of the LÊrÊ military base. China delivered dozens of these armored vehicles to the military junta in March this year.

🇲🇱 Jihadists' attack was repelled in northern-eastern Mali

The Malian Armed Forces have repelled a large-scale complex terrorist attack from the Acharane hold, approximately 35 km southwest of Timbuktu. Evaluations are underway.

In social media rumors are surfacing that four soldiers were injured, but the situation is now under control.

At the same time radicals from JNIM claim they took the control of the military hold. However, there is no confirmation to this information aside from words of jihadists.

🇲🇱đŸ‡Ģ🇷 Mali cancels authorization for Air France to resume service

Mali's government have cancelled the authorization given to French flag carrier Air France to resume operations and services to the country.

Two senior Malian officials and an air transport official gave the update on Wednesday less than 24hours after news went round that Air France will resume service to Mali from Friday.

"The decision was cancelled because the agreement was given without consulting the hierarchy," Mali said.

Air France had announced on Tuesday that it would resume service to Mali from Friday after a two-month suspension amid tensions in the Sahel and between Bamako and Paris.

⚡ī¸đŸ‡˛đŸ‡ą Malian Armed Forces entered the improvised capital of Tuareg rebels in north-eastern Mali

Malian Armed Forces have finally took positions in the city of Kidal, which has been an improvised capital for the Coordination of Azawad Movements in north-eastern Mali.

Tuareg rebels accounts on social media also confirm this information.

Although the battle for Kidal isn't over yet, this marks a big milestone for FAMa's campaign against the Azawad militants.

However, the loss of the city will not mean the end of the rebellion, since for the Coordination of Azawad Movement Kidal is just another city, since they consider entire south Sahara and north Sahel regions their home.
