The French Army has confirmed the death of a senior Algerian member of the Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) jihadist group in northern Mali. The Army has stated that the individual had been operating in the region as a financial and logistics coordinator. French forces have further stated that the Barkhane force conducted an operation targeting a senior AQIM official approximately 100 kilometres (km) north of Timbuktu in Mali, which led to the neutralisation of the Algerian jihadist Yahia Djouadi, alias Abou Ammar al Jazairi. The announcement follows as France and its European partners have recently announced a full Military withdrawal from Mali, citing multiple obstructions by the Malian junta.
