The Malian army announced on Saturday that it had killed three local chefs of terrorist groups (GAT) and several of their acolytes the day before an operation carried out in the north of the country.
Samba Diallo, chef of artisanal mines (improvised explosive devices, EEI) of the Tonka area, Amadou Barry dit Bourra and Ibrahima Diallo are the three leaders of the GAT who were killed during this operation, the Malian army said in a statement.
The same source adds that weapons, ammunition, means of communication and equipment entering into the manufacture of craft mines were also recovered during this “offensive recognition” which took place in the Kochia sector.
Since 2012, Mali has faced a profound multifaceted crisis characterized in particular by terrorist incursions and inter -community violence that left thousands of dead and hundreds of thousands of displaced.
