Mali

France decided to postpone the transfer of Operation Serval to a Sahel-Sahara French force in other locations after the resurgence of violence in northern Mali. Mali’s foreign minister asked the UN Security Council to create a commission to investigate the recent attack in Kidal. The Malian army has retaken strategic points in Kidal but has not recovered a military camp and the governor’s compound from the insurgents.
