Armata din Mali anunță că a preluat Kidal de la rebelii tuaregi, cu sprijinul Rusiei

The Malian army has regained control of the strategic city of Kidal, previously held by Tuareg rebels, with support from the Russian Africa Corps. This follows a controlled withdrawal by the Front for the Liberation of Azawad, which cited disproportionate airstrikes by Russian mercenaries. The city had been under rebel control since April, following coordinated attacks with al-Qaida affiliates. The Malian military's return is seen as a boost to their authority, although experts suggest the change is largely symbolic and does not significantly alter the security landscape in Mali.
