A suspected terror attack has killed more than 50 people in Mali, in one of the deadliest attacks against the country's military in years. the "Islamic State" group later claimed responsibility.
At least 53 soldiers and one civilian were killed in a suspected terrorist attack in northern Mali on Friday, the government said.

The raid occurred on a military post in the Indelimane area near the border with Niger. It is one of the deadliest attacks on the country's army in recent years.
"Reinforcements have been sent to the scene and the situation is under control with the support of the French military, which is helping to evacuate the wounded," government spokesman Yaya Sangare told The Associated Press on Saturday.
The militant "Islamic State" (IS) group claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement posted on the group's social media channels on Saturday. The group said the raid was carried out by IS "soldiers," but did not cite any evidence.

The European Union stressed its support for the government and people of Mali following the attack. A spokeswoman for the bloc's foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini added that stability in Mali and the whole region is a top priority for the EU.
Recurring attacks
Attacks of this nature occur frequently in Mali. An attack a month ago resulted in the deaths of numerous soldiers at two separate army posts. Islamic separatists were also accused of carrying out that particular onslaught.

French and African military operations, along with the Malian military's efforts, dispersed militants and restored government control in the region. However, rebel activities still occur in some areas, even though a number of peace agreements are in place.

May God deliver us

Show off to send a message that they are still alive after the death of their leader.

Sadly, terrorism is here to stay. They pass the ideology mantle to another, wen one dies

Nnamdi Kanu has taken his terror attack to Mali. IPOB are the deadliest terrorist group on earth.

African countries are always soft targets for retaliation by terrorist groups. ISIL wants to show to the world that it is still strong and capable after the death of its leader. This is the time African countries should be watchful against terrorists who see them as soft targets, but unfortunately, it is always medicine after death.

Funny enough I replied this that the border lock has diverted boko haram and ISWAP and someone on nairaland said I should leave nigeria out of it, I dot know how some people react to facts

cenaman:
Fulani Miyetti-Allah has taken his terror attack to Mali. Fulani Bandits are the deadliest terrorist group on earth.

You're right,
terrorism was introduced to the world by Prophet Muhammad(S.A.W) from the Middle East,
The Fulanis adopted it and used it to conquer the Hausa people and some part of Yoruba Land.

Who exactly are you referring to?
The terrorists or the dead soldiers?

The killers are probably those ISIS militants the Turkish army recently freed from prison in Syria.
