Malian President Assimi Goïta reappeared on Tuesday after being absent following attacks on Saturday. Mali's transition president, Asim Goïta, delivered a national address yesterday to call for unity and reassure the public. Moscow stated that jihadist attacks enabling the capture of Kidal resulted in casualties among Russian mercenaries. The situation in Mali is linked to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, according to the report. Colonel Assimi Goita appeared on state television late Tuesday for the first time following a period of absence. Goïta was previously believed to be missing during the unrest. He is reportedly under the protection of a Turkish mercenary guard. The source noted uncertainty regarding his capacity to resume full control of the government. The appearance follows attacks by militants linked to ISIS in the region last week.
