Mali government reports rebel attacks targeting northern towns
The Malian army reported rebel attacks on northern towns Gao and Sévaré, with the Azawad Liberation Front (FLA) targeting Anefis as part of a separatist offensive seeking independence in northern Mali. The region, including Niger and Burkina Faso, faces escalating militant threats from al-Qaida and Islamic State affiliates, with government forces accused of civilian casualties. A late April coordinated attack by FLA and JNIM killed the defense minister and captured key northern towns.
