Dakar, Senegal – Armed men on Sunday took over two military camps in northern Mali, two elected officials told AFP, with a spokesman for an alliance of predominantly Tuareg armed groups claiming the attack.
“After fighting, the armed men took the camps. We are waiting for reinforcement from the army, but for the moment it is the armed men who hold the camps”, he added. “We attacked and took control of the two military camps in the town of Lere this Sunday”, he told AFP. “The camps are under our control. We shot down an army plane”.The successionist groups in 2012 launched a rebellion before signing a peace agreement with the state in 2015. But that accord is now generally considered moribund.On Tuesday, the groups launched an offensive against army positions in the garrison town of Bourem, which the military said it had repelled.
