A new attack reported in Mali on Monday morning in the small town of Banamba which lies 140 kilometers north of Bamako. Gunmen attacked the gendarmerie and the prison where they were out of detainees.
Arrived in the night aboard several vehicles in the locality of Banamba, the attackers split into three groups, according to witnesses. The first group went to prison for the attack and several dozen prisoners were released. Another group attacked the gendarmerie, whose premises were ransacked and taken away two vehicles. Other assailants attacked a bank and a safe was forced.
And armed men at first, there was truly no resistance. They were down by magnifying their ranks of released prisoners and military equipment found on site. Witnesses are categorical: the attackers spoke two languages, Fulani and Tamashek.
At mid-day on Monday, there was still no news of a policeman and a supervisor of the Banamba prison. However, reinforcing the Malian army arrived on the scene. Witnesses saw the attackers leave the city to the region of the Western Sahel, to Mauritania.
