Tuareg Rebels Release Malian Soldiers in Exchange for Leader

Tuareg rebels have released around 60 Malian soldiers in exchange for their leader, Inkinane Ag Attaher, who was arrested in 2025. The exchange, overseen by the Niger government, is part of ongoing prisoner releases involving al-Qaeda-linked groups and reflects continued communication despite Mali's government rejecting negotiations with these groups. The civil conflict in Mali has persisted since 2012, with the military currently in power since a 2021 coup.
