Reinforcement convoy departed from Gao and was hit by first ambush south of Tabrichat. Second ambush further south toward Almustrat, with talk third fown the line. Meanwhile, the Anèfif base is surrounded, with Malian soldiers and Russian Afrika Korps inside under bombardment by FLA rebels.

I can't side with the Mali army dictatorship. Obviously not the various ISIS variants.
Azawad Liberation Front? I'm not sure, but no instant revulsion for me at least.
