Mali says 50 soldiers killed in Kidal fighting

Sun May 25, 2014 8:04pm EDT
BAMAKO (Reuters) - Fifty Malian soldiers died this week during a
failed army attempt to seize the Tuareg separatist northern town of
Kidal, the West African country's defense minister said on Sunday.

The fresh fighting on Wednesday, the worst since the government and
separatist groups signed a preliminary peace agreement last year,
threatened to sink struggling peace talks to end a long cycle of
Tuareg uprisings.

"In terms of toll, we have recorded 50 deaths unfortunately,"
Soumeylou Boubeye Maiga said on Malian state television, adding that
40 others were wounded in the failed operation.

Maiga had previously said that 20 soldiers were killed in the combat
and 30 were wounded.

The Malian army launched the assault on Kidal after clashes broke out
last weekend during a visit to the town by new Prime Minister Moussa
Mara.

The Tuareg separatist and the government agreed to a deal brokered by
the African Union and the United Nations on Friday to permanently
cease fire, exchange prisoners, restart peace talks and accept an
international investigation into Wednesday fighting.
