Mali probes soldiers working with rebels
Malian authorities say some military officers collaborated with jihadist and separatist fighters who carried out coordinated attacks across the country earlier in the week.
A statement from the prosecutor’s office confirmed that the first arrests have been made and that efforts are continuing to track down other suspects involved.
Meanwhile, separatist fighters from the Azawad Liberation Front claim they have captured a strategic military camp in the town of Tessalit after the Malian army and its Russian allies withdrew.
Consulting fellow of the Africa Programma at Chatham House, Paul Melly, shares further insights.
