DAKAR, Senegal: Mali's local al Qaeda-linked group, Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM), has offered millions of euros for information about the location of the country's president and senior military leaders.
The group called the government illegitimate.
This announcement this week came after the government had earlier offered rewards for information leading to JNIM leader Iyad Ag Ghaly and other militants. The statement was reported by the SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors extremist activities and communications worldwide.
In April, attacks linked to al Qaeda killed Mali's defense minister, sparking fighting across the country's large desert region in the north and raising fears that armed groups could gain more ground.
JNIM is offering two million euros for information about Assimi Goita, the country's leader based in the capital, Bamako, who came to power after coups in 2020 and 2021.
The group is also offering one million euros each for information leading to the capture of Colonel Lassina Diallo and General Malik Dicko.
It said the money would be paid to anyone who provides information about their whereabouts or takes concrete steps to capture or "neutralize" them.
