The Malian army has announced the successful neutralization of several terrorists, including one of the most wanted leaders in the northern town of Ber.
Among those neutralized is Al-Iza Ould Yahia, also known as Joulaibib Al-Ansari, a notorious figure linked to numerous atrocities against local populations.
Al-Ansari is believed to have been responsible for orchestrating targeted assassinations and launching attacks against the Malian armed forces.
His elimination marks a significant victory for Mali in its ongoing battle against terrorism in the region.
Al-Ansari’s elimination is seen as a substantial victory for the Malian military, as he was a high-profile leader linked to numerous violent activities, including targeted assassinations, attacks on Malian armed forces, and orchestrating terror campaigns against local communities.
His name has been associated with several high-profile attacks, which have contributed to destabilizing the northern regions of Mali, exacerbating the security crisis that has affected the country for over a decade.
