Al-Qaeda reaches agreement with Malian administration to end siege of Boni
Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin announced today that they have lifted the siege on the city of Boni and reopened the main road between Bamako and Gao. This decision follows an agreement reached after recent negotiations with parties likely linked to the ruling military junta in Bamako.
According to the statement, both sides engaged in intensive discussions and ultimately reached a resolution regarding the conflict in Boni. The agreement was made in the interest of Islam and Muslims in the region and in accordance with Shari'ah law.
As a result, the group officially declared that the siege on Boni has ended, and the road between Bamako and Gao will be open starting Saturday, 29th Ramadan 1446 AH.
