MALI 🇲🇱 | 💥 Situation report as of 07/10, the day after the clashes between the FLA/JNIM coalition and the Africa Corps/FAMa convoy
The fighting began yesterday around 09:00, near Tabankort, 45 km south of Anéfis, and lasted until nightfall. Several periods of lull occurred due to sandstorms and heavy rains in the late afternoon.
| Allah wanted them all to suffer. | The convoy turned back for the first time following the ambush in order to regroup and then resume its advance toward Anéfis, facing a new assault from the armed groups.
Despite all these violent clashes and the numerous losses on both sides, the remainder of the convoy arrived in Anéfis early this morning.
⚠️ Key development: the pro-government militias GATIA and MSA took part in the fighting against the FLA, alongside the FAMa, and reportedly gained the upper hand over the Tuareg separatists during a battle near Anéfis.
REPORTED LOSSES:
- Intaryague Azarin, personal bodyguard of Bilal Ag Shérif (one of the FLA leaders), is said to have been killed. A photo of his body is circulating on social media.
- Iyad Ag Ghali, leader of JNIM, was reported as wounded, according to his opponents.
| ULULULULULULULU! Also, pray for sepsis, and also some of that sandstorm got into his wounds. | - Colonel Attaher MaĂŻga succumbed to his injuries. He had been commanding the 7th Military Region of the FAMa (Kidal region) since February 2026.
- The deputy head of the Africa Corps detachment is also said to have been killed, according to his opponents.
No figures are verifiable, but the human toll is heavy on both sides.
On the equipment front, numerous vehicles from the convoy were destroyed. The same applies to the FLA/JNIM opponents.
OFFICIAL COMMUNICATIONS:
Africa Corps announced on its networks that it had destroyed, in 1 hour of fighting, 50 pickups and 300 terrorists.
JNIM remains silent on its participation in the fighting around Anéfis.
For the coordinated assaults of April 25, the terrorist organization waited several weeks before officially releasing images of the damage inflicted on its communication channel.
The FLA, which has spoken out officially on several occasions since last Saturday, has not yet issued a statement regarding yesterday. Even though numerous Tuareg reporters have published images regarding the material and human losses of the opposing camp.
The Malian Armed Forces have not yet communicated officially on the 07/09 fighting, but claimed, for the previous day, the destruction of 10 vehicles and the neutralization of about a hundred terrorists.
Russian Afrika Corps relief column surrounded by FLA
Translated Text:
Having set out from Gao three days ago to rescue the #Wagner elements stranded in the Anefif camp, the reinforcements arrived at their destination last night.
But the price to pay was very heavy.
This massive convoy of more than 60 vehicles (including 45 from Wagner) went through a true hell. Despite being escorted by a Su-24, two Russian Orlan-10 drones, and three Bayraktar drones, it was attacked by the FLA (Azawad Liberation Front): kamikaze drone strikes and intense heavy weapons combat.
The provisional toll reports:
• Several armored vehicles and pick-ups destroyed.
• One helicopter shot down.
• Numerous sent to Valhalla and wounded in Wagner's ranks, the fake colonel Attaher Maiga sent to Valhalla
Although the convoy reached Anefif, the town remains completely surrounded by the FLA. The coming days will be decisive for the rest of the fighting.

The nature of the conflict in Mali is undoubtedly changing, and we may well be in a "new phase" of the war

The nature of the conflict in Mali is undoubtedly changing, and we may well be in a "new phase" of the war.
Some thoughts⬇️
1. JNIM(-FLA) is demonstrating growing capability and capacity to project simultaneous, coordinated pressure across Mali. The July 4 attacks prove April 25 was not entirely a one-off or "once-a-year" type offensive; these kinds of nationwide attacks could become the new normal.
2. The battle for Anéfis could signal that JNIM-FLA is more willing to get stuck into more conventional, prolonged battles. Fighting around Anéfis has been going on for nearly a week now, with both sides comitting a substantial number of drones, soldiers, and vehicles to the battle. It's one of the most prolonged and intense battles since the Mali conflict firmly shifted to an insurgency around 2014.
3. All that said, Malian and Russian forces are demonstrating much more resiliency this time around than they did after April 25. Security forces allegedly got tipped off on some of the attacks, and they have doubled down on Anéfis, sacrificing a substantial number of forces and materiel to hold onto/reinforce the town rather than withdraw. Lends support to the idea that April 25 will be as easy as it gets for FLA-JNIM, as security forces have increasingly consolidated their positions and will be less easily surprised.
Even more.

Tuaregs in Mali once again attacked the Russian “African Corps”
The column heading to Anefis included more than 200 fighters from the Russian “African Corps” and over 100 Malian army servicemen. The convoy, consisting of dozens of vehicles, was accompanied by aviation.
Anefis is considered a key point for maintaining control over the city of Kidal — the main stronghold of Tuareg forces in northern Mali.
This is the second attack on a convoy with Russian and Malian forces in the past week. The first convoy, which departed from Gao, was ambushed on July 5.
