Jihadist Group Tightens Bamako Blockade
Jihadist groups are tightening their control around the capital of Mali. Attacks were carried out in Bamako by jihadist groups and separatists from the Azawad Liberation Front. The Kremlin spokesperson stated that Moscow will continue its fight against extremism and provide assistance to the current authorities. This follows demands from the FLA for Russian forces to withdraw from the region. The incident involved two men on a scooter throwing acid at the face of human rights defender André Lumet. The attack occurred in public and has heightened political tensions in Mali. Four soldiers were charged on Wednesday for their involvement in an acid attack against a human rights NGO coordinator in Bamako. The attack occurred last March when two men on a scooter stopped to throw acid in the street.
