JNIM/FLA capture Kidal governor's relative

Forces from the Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM) and the Forces for the Liberation of Azawad (FLA) have captured Sideghali, the son-in-law of Kidal governor Ag Gamou, in the northern city of Kidal. The capture of a close family member of a key regional official represents a significant symbolic blow to state authority. This event follows the militants' seizure of the Kidal Governor's Palace and other key infrastructure, underscoring their tightening grip on the region. The ongoing nationwide offensive continues to target both military and political figures across Mali.
