Malian authorities have launched a military tribunal investigation into the deadly coordinated attacks carried out on April 25, with early findings suggesting possible involvement of both current and former members of the armed forces, as well as political figures.
According to a statement from the prosecutor at the Military Tribunal in Bamako, preliminary evidence indicates that some soldiers—alongside dismissed or suspended military personnel—may have played roles in the planning, coordination, and execution of the assaults.
The attacks targeted multiple security installations across the country, including facilities in the capital city of Bamako and the nearby strategic town of Kati. One of the most significant targets was the residence of Defence Minister Sadio Camara.
Investigators stated that “solid evidence” has been gathered pointing to collaboration among military personnel and external actors. The report also alleged the involvement of political figures, naming Dr. Oumar Mariko among those under scrutiny.
Authorities confirmed that several suspects have already been arrested, while others remain at large. A dismissed soldier identified as Alassane Diallo, also known as Abedi, was reportedly killed during clashes linked to the attacks in Kati.
Mali has been struggling with long-standing insecurity since 2012, facing repeated militant assaults on both civilian and military targets. The April 25 incidents are considered particularly serious due to their scale and the targeting of high-level government and security sites.
The investigation remains ongoing as security forces continue to search for additional suspects and assess the full extent of the alleged network behind the coordinated attacks.
