Mali's president moves between camps... and conflicting reports emerge about the fate of the chiefs of staff and intelligence.

A Malian security source told AFP that the Malian transitional president, General Assimi Joyta “He was evacuated from Katy on Saturday and is now in a safe location at a special forces camp” near the capital.

The French news agency quoted security sources as saying that the head of Malian intelligence, General Modibo Koné, was wounded during Saturday's attacks in Kati, as was the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces, General Omar Diarra.

Conflicting reports about the fate of Mali's leaders

According to reports in Mali, there are conflicting reports about the status of the head of the intelligence service, General Modibo Koné, and the Chief of Staff, General Omar Diarra. Some say they were wounded, while others say the former has died. So far, there are no confirmations.

This comes after the death of Malian Defense Minister General Sadio Camara was confirmed, according to Agence France-Presse.

These reports come at a time when Goita has not appeared since the attacks began on Saturday, and the injuries of the heads of intelligence and the general staff of the Malian armed forces have not been confirmed or denied by the government or the army, nor has the official media in Mali addressed this.

Condemnation of the attacks in Mali

The Sahel Union had condemned the “coordinated terrorist attacks” that targeted several locations in Mali, denouncing a ”conspiracy” aimed at destabilizing the Union, while praising the Malian army’s response.

In a statement issued from Ouagadougou, the president of the Sahel Union, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, confirmed that the attacks carried out on the morning of April 25 in Mali “bear the hallmarks of long-planned operations” aimed at inflicting heavy losses on the defense forces and ”spreading terror” among the civilian population.

Egypt condemns Mali attacks

Egypt strongly condemns the terrorist attacks in the Republic of Mali, which resulted in the death of the Malian Minister of Defense and several other casualties. Egypt expresses its full solidarity with the people and government of the sisterly Republic of Mali in the face of these terrorist attacks and reiterates its condemnation of all attacks that undermine the security and stability of Mali.

Egypt affirmed its firm stance rejecting all forms of terrorism and extremism, and stressed the importance of concerted regional and international efforts to combat this phenomenon, dry up its sources of funding, and confront the extremist ideology that fuels it, especially in the Sahel region and the African continent, within the framework of a comprehensive approach that links security and development.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs called on Egyptian citizens in Mali to comply with the instructions of the local authorities and to exercise caution and vigilance to ensure their safety.
