 Azbinawa rebels 'captured' the Mali army bases

Azbinawa rebels from the north of Mali say they have seized control of two military bases in the central region of the country, at the same time that the conflict between them and the military government of the country is getting worse.

A Malian official told the AFP news agency that there were some people who died in the attacks on Sunday in the town of Léré in the Timbuktu region, but he did not confirm their number.

A 2015 peace deal with Abzinawa separatists has weakened since the fall of the civilian government in 2020, and the expulsion of UN peacekeepers last month has fueled the conflict.

A spokesman for the rebel group known as the Coordination of Azawad Movements (CMA) told AFP: "We attacked and took control of two military bases in Léré this Sunday."

At the end of the week, the military leaders of Niger, Burkina Faso and Mali signed a joint security agreement in the city of Bamako, where they promised to provide assistance to each other if foreign forces or local insurgents attack. attack them
