BAMAKO, Mali — New fighting erupted between the Malian military and armed rebel groups in an area south of Kidal late Friday, with both sides claiming to control the town of Anefis as night fell.
The Malian military, however, said that it had broken through the rebels' defenses and had carried out “a very high death toll on the terrorist side” near Anefis, about 100 kilometers south of the town of Kidal. Analysts say it signals a breakdown of a 2015 peace agreement signed between the government and ethnic Tuareg rebels who once drove security forces out of northern Mali as they sought to create the state of Azawad there.

New clashes erupt between the Malian military and separatist rebels as a security crisis deepensNew clashes have broken out in northern Mali between military soldiers and separatist rebels. Both sides claimed late Friday to control the town of Anefis which is located south of the town of Kidal. The rebels who want to establish an independent state called Azawad claimed to have shot down an aircraft and a half-dozen drones belonging to Russian private military contractor Wagner. But the military claimed to have enacted heavy losses during the fighting. The armed groups had signed a 2015 peace agreement that allowed them to be integrated into the national military. But a letter signed by Mali's chief of staff is now raising concerns that some of those men have deserted and “joined the ranks of the terrorists.”
