WorldMali junta forces retake strategic town of Kidal from separatists
Mali’s army, backed by Russia’s Africa Corps, has re-entered the northern strategic town of Kidal after Tuareg separatists and al-Qaeda-linked fighters withdrew. The Azawad Liberation Front said its pullout was a controlled strategic withdrawal without direct fighting. Analysts described the recapture as a symbolic boost for the junta rather than a decisive gain against jihadist and separatist groups.
