马里北部的图阿雷格叛军宣布,从战略要镇基达尔撤军。2024年成立的团结了图阿雷格和北部分离主义派别的阿瓦扎德解放阵线(FLA)在星期二发表声明称,其决定在夺取基达尔六个月后、马里军队在俄罗斯战士支持下进行新一轮空袭时期,对基达尔实施“可控撤退”。
Mali’s Tuareg rebels have announced they are withdrawing from the strategic town of Kidal, in the north of the country. Azawad Liberation Front (FLA), a coalition formed in 2024 uniting Tuareg and northern separatist factions, said in a statement on Tuesday that it had decided to carry out a “controlled withdrawal” from Kidal six months after capturing the town and amid fresh air strikes by Mali’s military backed by Russian fighters.
声明称:“FLA明确指出,这是一项临时的行动措施,也旨在保持其人力和后勤能力完好无损。这种有条不紊的撤退是在其部队尚未与敌人发生直接战斗的情况下完成的。”
“The FLA specifies that this is a temporary operational measure, also intended to preserve its human and logistical capabilities intact. This methodical withdrawal from the area took place without any direct combat having yet pitted its forces against the enemy,” the statement said.
马里军方在星期二早些时候表示,其已在基达尔周边地区展开大规模空上和地上的行动。
Earlier on Tuesday, Mali’s military said it had launched large-scale air and ground operations in the region around Kidal.
马里军方发表声明称,这些行动的目标包括“追捕和中和”该地区的武装团伙,摧毁他们的补给网络,以及恢复“持久的安全”和保障人民和物资的自由流动。
The goals of the operations included “tracking down and neutralizing” armed groups in the area, destroying their supply networks, and restoring “lasting security” and free movement for people and goods, a Malian military statement said.
一名安全消息人士称,包括俄罗斯民兵在内的亲政府战士于星期二下午重新进入基达尔。
Pro-government fighters, including Russian paramilitaries, re-entered Kidal on Tuesday afternoon, a security source said.
自2012年以来,马里一直处于冲突状态,当时北部的图阿雷格分离主义叛乱被基地组织链接的伊斯拉姆主义武装所取代,这些武装后来在2017年 consolidation为“伊斯兰教和穆斯林之联盟”(JNIM)。
Mali has been gripped by conflict since 2012, when a Tuareg separatist rebellion in the north was overtaken by al-Qaeda-linked Islamist militants, who later consolidated under Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM) in 2017.
虽然FLA自称为追求马里阿瓦扎德地区独立的世俗民族主义运动,而JNIM是基地组织附属组织,但双方已将意识形态分歧搁置,共同对抗马里政府。
While the FLA presents itself as a secular nationalist movement seeking independence for Mali’s Azawad region and JNIM is an al-Qaeda-affiliated group, the two sides have set ideological differences aside to confront the Malian government.
FLA表示仍致力于阿瓦扎德的独立,后者是分离主义者对马里北部的称呼;而JNIM表示正在为“解放”马里和推翻政府而战。
The FLA says it remains committed to independence for Azawad, the name separatists use for northern Mali, while JNIM says it is fighting to “liberate” Mali and overthrow the government.
自2021年政变以来,军方一直统治该国,承诺恢复秩序和团结。
The military has ruled the country since a 2021 coup, pledging to restore order and unity.
JNIM自从马里军人夺权、驱逐法国军队和约1.5万名联合国维和人员,并转而寻求俄罗斯准军事组织提供防务支持以来,其实力有所增强。
JNIM has gained in strength since the Malian soldiers who seized power expelled French forces and some 15,000 United Nations peacekeepers, and turned to Russian paramilitaries for defence support.
自4月份法里联盟(FLA)和JNIM发动联合进攻以来,冲突升级,袭击政府军的事件频频发生。
Since the FLA and JNIM launched a joint offensive in April, the conflict has escalated with increasing attacks on the military-backed government forces.
马里政府表示,正致力于恢复国家权威,并解散其所称的“法里联盟与JNIM之间的恐怖主义联盟”。
The Malian government says it is working to restore state authority and dismantle what it calls a “terrorist alliance” between the FLA and JNIM.
