Tuareg Rebels Release Around 60 Mali Soldiers in Exchange for Their Leader
Tuareg rebels have released about 60 Mali soldiers in exchange for their leader Inkinane Ag Attaher, who was detained in Niger in 2025. The swap was supervised by Niger's government, with Algeria also acting as a mediator. This marks the latest in a series of hostage releases amid continued conflict in Mali and the Sahel.
