The armed conflict between the Malian authorities and extremist and separatist groups began in 2012. Since then, the country has been in a state of crisis, mainly in the area of security and socio-economic development.
Malian government forces captured Ahmad Ag Ditta, a prominent leader of the
terrorist group Greater Sahara, an affiliate of Daesh*, during an operation in the Menaka region in the east of the country, according to local media.
Security forces hold Ag Ditta responsible for
organizing attacks on soldiers and extorting money from civilians.
In addition, the army was able to locate and destroy several terrorists. The military also managed to seize equipment and numerous improvised explosive devices from the militants.
On Monday, it was reported that Mali's army is conducting a large-scale offensive against the positions of terrorists in the east of the country, including in the so-called area of the three borders, where the territories of the three members of the Alliance of Sahel States (
AES), Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger, converge.
