Jihadists have been extending their hold over rural areas around the better-defended towns.
BAMAKO: Two people died and five were wounded Thursday after shelling fired on the northern Malian city of Timbuktu, the army said, a month and a half into a jihadist blockade on the area.
The Al-Qaeda-linked jihadist alliance Support Group for Islam and Muslims in August declared “war in the Timbuktu region”, warning trucks from neighbouring regions not to enter the city. Witnesses have described to AFP a life of scarcity and fear, as shells have begun to rain down and basic necessities are beginning to run short.
