Mali’s Defense Minister Sadio Kamara died in a bomb blast. On Saturday, his home in the city of Kati, near the capital Bamako, was attacked with a suicide car. Kati is considered an army stronghold, which is about 15 km from the capital Bamako. It was there that this big attack was carried out. The alliance between Al-Qaeda-linked jihadist organization JNIM and Tuareg rebel group FLA is said to be behind the attack. Both the organizations jointly carried out this attack. With this attack, violence broke out in many parts of the country. There were reports of shootings and explosions in several cities including Bamako, Gao, Kidal and Sèvres.

Sadio Kamara was one of the prominent leaders of the military government and his death is being considered a major blow to the government and the army. Video related to violence in Mali…
