Mali's al Qaeda branch offers €2 million bounty for president's capture


Mali's local al Qaeda affiliate Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM) has offered millions of euros for information on ‌the whereabouts of the president and top military officials, describing the government as an illegitimate entity.

The insurgents' statement follows a similar offer made by the government for ⁠information leading to JNIM leader Iyad Ag Ghaly, and other militant figures.

JNIM offered €2 million for information leading to Assimi Goita, leader of the government in the ​capital, Bamako, ​who ⁠took power following coups in 2020 and 2021, Reuters reported.

The notice also offered €1 ​million each for information about ​Colonel ⁠Lassina Diallo and General Malik Dicko.

It said the reward would be paid to anyone ⁠offering ​information leading to their locations ​or anyone taking concrete action to "neutralise" them.
