Data Point related to: CITY/TOWN
Bourem
Tuareg rebels, part of the Coordination of Azawad Movements (CMA), have claimed control over a military camp and posts in Bourem, Mali, following weeks of conflict with the national army and Wagner Group mercenaries. This development threatens to undermine the 2015 peace agreement. The capture of Bourem, located between Gao and Timbuktu, occurred amid Mali's recent military coups, expulsion of French forces and UN peacekeeping troops, and growing tension in the region due to the withdrawal of UN peacekeepers. The Tuareg alliance seeks autonomy for the Azawad region, alleging government neglect and ceasefire violations by Malian forces and Russian Wagner Group troops, who have replaced French troops. The region, a stronghold of armed rebellion in the Sahel, remains volatile with ongoing attacks by armed groups on civilians and the military.
