Five Indian nationals working on an electrification project have been kidnapped by suspected Al-Qaeda and ISIS-linked terrorists near Kobri in western Mali. The abduction reportedly took place on Thursday, November 6, when armed men intercepted their vehicle in an area known for extremist activity. Their employer has since evacuated other Indian employees to the capital, Bamako, for safety. No group has yet claimed responsibility for the kidnapping. The kidnapping highlights growing insecurity in Mali, which has been under military rule since 2021. The African nation continues to battle extremist violence from Al-Qaeda-affiliated JNIM and ISIS cells expanding across the Sahel. Indians Kidnapped in Mali: 3 Indian Nationals Abducted Amid Series of Terror Attacks; India Asks West African Nation To Secure Their Safe Release.
