Mali’s Defence Minister General Sadio Camara has been killed amid coordinated attacks on military sites across the country, sources told Al Jazeera.
The news on Sunday came a day after his residence in the garrison town of Kati came under attack during the simultaneous attacks launched by an al-Qaeda affiliate and Tuareg rebels on Saturday.
Camara was a central figure in the military government that seized power after back-to-back coups in 2020 and 2021.
