On 7 September 2023, at least 49 civilians and 15 soldiers were killed when Islamist militants attacked a military camp and the vessel Timbuktu in Mali.[1] Militants reportedly attacked the boat as it was traveling on the Niger River from the town of Gao to Mopti and also attacked an army camp in the Bourem Cercle in the Gao Region.[2] Another attack on the 8th targeted a Mali army camp and the airport in Gao. The responsibility for the attacks were claimed by Jama'at Nasr al-Islam wal Muslimin, a group linked to al-Qaeda.[3]
Following the attacks, the 2024 Malian presidential election was postponed indefinitely by the Malian junta.[4]
