The MSA movement announced this afternoon the return of its soldiers to the Talatayte area, after EIGS took control of the area after a bloody battle between EIGS, the Salvation of Azawad Movement and the Supporting Islam and Muslims group.
According to local sources, EIGS left the area without resistance after killing at least 17 civilians and burning some shops in the area.
The Malian army carried out several air raids against ISIS elements in Talatite on Wednesday evening (the day of the battle) and on Tuesday morning 7 September 2022.
