Translated Text:

Mali 🇲🇱 - Libya 🇱🇾 | Tuareg rebels from the Azawad Liberation Front (FLA) are said to have used Libya as a rear base in the context of retaking Kidal.

🔴 According to a report from the news site « Africa Intelligence », the FLA is said to have exploited the Fezzan region (southern Libya), near the city of Ubari, as a logistics base and starting point for launching its offensive on April 25.

🔶 This presumed axis would extend from southern Libya 🇱🇾 via Niger 🇳🇪 to northern Mali 🇲🇱 (📸) and would pass through the famous « Salvador Pass », a major strategic crossroads in northern Niger, used by terrorist groups and arms and drug traffickers.

🔸 It would enable the transit of military equipment, fuel, and fighters, who would return to Libyan territory at the end of operations.

ℹ️ This route being controlled by armed groups operating in Niger, it would have forced the Tuareg rebels to obtain their passage authorization to conduct their operations in Mali.
